"Family Tradition" a build for Daughter & Grandchildren

We are beginning the frame modification. The new section will be 5 1/2" inboard of the original frame. Once both new sections are properly installed and aligned, the original frame will be cut away. Having the OE frame remaining in place gives a good fixture for accurate alignment.

Old reliable, simple, easy, ladder bar.

Job change note: I originally planned on utilizing CalTracs, but after a time of pondering, I changed by mind [I do that ofter] and decided to make room for a wider tire and install the ladder bar set.

The ladder bars and shocks are as far outboard as the new frame will allow. The pinion is centered.
