Interesting discussion about welding frames - I knew I would be learning stuff on this forum!
I want to shorten the frame on my C35 (160") by about 20". I'm a little spooked about cutting/splicing so I'm thinking instead about moving the rear spring hangers forward on the frame - would still need to cut a slice out of the side to accommodate the bottom of the front hanger.
Don, congratulations on starting another project
That's a nice Chevy and will make a great wrecker. I like the color, but I'm kind of partial to yellow (see attached, at least it's yellow and a chevy).
This is my last old truck, unless I find another one.
