320 Newb Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Any chance you held on to those seat brackets on your stock floor? If so I might be interested in purchasing one or both! Your build looks amazing! could take a stock floor body drop go big or go home the star of a new floor frame 2 Quote Link to comment

crew521 Posted August 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 It's funny you say that because in that picture the frame is sitting on for two by fours in the back right at the cab so that the wheels were off the ground to start it I'm sure you've looked at the other pictures where the pinch weld is laying on the ground at full lay 2 Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 I wouldn't go chop top. 2 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 I would not chop top it either, but that is just me, it rains and gets cold a lot around here and I don't have a place to park it inside. The way I do my extended cabs would take me 5 Datsun 521 cab tops to make the extension you have made, it takes me 3 tops to just do a 14 inch extension. Here is my 520 top extension before any body work or filler, the cab front half, the cab back half, and the 3rd top skin, it took about an hour to tack weld that center piece in once it was fitted. 2 Quote Link to comment
