Yaay! Frame repair Done! Feeling more confident to attack the Body now! Especially since our County put us on lockdown! STAY AT HOME! I work in the sewer business for a Municipality. And we are on call at home now! My Boss says we are “Highly” encouraged to improve our Job duties through online courses, safety training. Hands on skills.... and I say like fabrication, and welding???? He says with enthusiasm. “EXACTLY!” thats great! Later I get an email with all the stuff mentioned above for improving things, and at the bottom it says and.....”fabricating and welding!” I freaking laughed my head off! Awesome! That’s what I love about my job, my hobbies and my job are kind of the same thing in a way! So... Out of duty for the good of Mankind... I MUST continue! Heres a summary of what I have done so far: Thanks Rick!
Nice job! Are those rear radius rods the old PSI brand? Do you notice it having oversteer in the corners with them being parallel to the frame like that?
They are the original rear wish bones split, with tie rod ends installed. It always drove fine, as far as I remember. But it has been 25 years! The rear tires were always fat, and bias plys. So I don’t know if you would even notice steering problems, it does have a 56’ truck box, and hairpin set up, so bump steer happened a little, but never enough to feel unsafe.
Good job so far, little by little you'll get it done. Just a safety concern about working underneath that car with the body only held up by the engine hoist. It only takes a second for this to go bad real quick in many different ways.

I got a piece of rubber and 2 hose clamps locking the ram. I let the juice out and tested it, several times, even hung off it. So with the juice, and clamped its all good! (I was wondering when someone would notice! Thanks for the concern!
