Thanks for the info on the rectangular tubing. That's the route I am going to go. I attempted to Tig weld last weekend and think I was a little over ambitious. I'm going to switch to Mig welding the frame together and give that a shot this weekend. I have done mig before and feel more comfortable with that. Should have just tried that in the first place! So i have to switch out my gas shielding bottles this week.
Kent, thanks for the info on the brake lines. I really like the suggestion about them because I have the basic hand tools to form lines and make flares. So stainless would probably pose a problem. I'll good with the fedhillusa.com so I don't go the cheap route. I want the brake system to be reliable.
I'm going to have a lot more questions. I think I'll be doing the Mechanical work on the truck itself through the winter. I was thinking of actually swapping the engine with a Chevrolet performance block.
