I acquired a few junked trucks and kept EVERYTHING off of them that wasn't rusted. So frame pcs and front axle etc. I have enough stuff to make my own home made side by side.

If I can narrow the front axel, narrow the rear end and put it all on a smaller frame (c-channel) then I'd be able to use my spare 4 speeds/and extra motor (248) on a power-house "mule) that would fit on a 5x10 trailer. and putting smallest possible tires on it would gear it down even lower.

My question: Is it possible to cut and weld those straight front axles? I know it'll be weak at the weld so I could brace it, but I have to ask if anyone has done this with those old axles? Or if they ever narrowed a rear end? My great-granddad did, but he is passed on. Any advice is appreciated!

Whether you think you can or can't, you're right.

Also--in 2004, I invented the spotting alert network in stovebolt after seeing so many trucks when driving around. So that means I am cool.
