Bory Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Not sure why it has that V shape in the body line, where it looks like the rear part of the bed has to be channeled to make the line straight. Might be my next mod Quote Link to comment

Bory Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 So after the first road test, one inch travel over the housing just isn't enough. So this is the rear Frame support for the C' section. I raised the truck up and set the rear housing on stands, then took ratchet straps and made the housing contact the frame so I can mark the exact center of the C. I ran a straight edge from the u- bolt and transferred that mark on the frame and inner fender. Then measured over to center of U bolt to find exact center of rear end. I'm using 5" schedule 40 pipe. Biggest mistake made with C sections is most guys forget about the U bolts. Which add almost one more inch to the diameter. Quote Link to comment
Bory Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 If you zoom in, you can see I cut the bottom with a saws all on both sides. Then used a torch for the outside and inside of frame then lots of grinding. Quote Link to comment

Bory Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 To get it out I had to hole saw the core for the bolt to come out. Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 How does it drive? Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I have a way larger notch and I never really thought about the rearend hitting, so I went outside and looked, I am 2 inches away. :( I see you weld like I do, so it's best to not focus to much on it, but as long as it doesn't come apart, everything is good. :lol: Quote Link to comment
Bory Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 It drives bitchin, with no bottoming out, or any metal to to metal. It feels extremely light on throttle response, and oh ya, hauls the mail, does not do it justice. The rear was stick welded, for plenty of penetration. Only put about 90 miles on it, and can't go far before some asks, what I have in it. Of course I say- it's all Prius- ha. 4 Quote Link to comment
