I'm am unsure if I should box the really nice frame of my 1 ton panel. All the mods I have done so far besides additional support to the floor and body mounts are completely bolt on.
My motor that's going in is a torque monster . The 70 Buick 455. Its built. Im not sure on net torque but stock they came w close to 500+torque and 450+ hp . Also I'm going 4x4 , that part of the swap is pretty far along. This truck will not be babied.
Will the stock frame take it?
what if I add cross members?
I will be fabricating an engine cradle and chaining my block down. New tranny cross member and my transfer case is divorced and mounts where the carrier bearing is for the original drive shaft.
Im considering boxing all the way to the transfer case?
