    I'm looking for pictures and ideas for rear frame mods for old skool trucks, I've got a 46 stude that I wanna flip the axle on, just lookin for ideas on what to do with the frame and bed.

    My initial idea is to try and make the frame look stock, and just raise the bed floor, but I like lookin around for inspiration.

    For the record, I'm not interested in subin in an S-10 frame. :eek:

    I must say, I would like to see the rest of that truck as well. Looks like a beast.

    Hey, that's lookin pretty good! But, you said your going to paint the frame? It apears to be nicely painted black already. Maybe I'm wrong... Anyhoo, I realy appreciate the pics.

    No offense taken here. Lol. I thought for sure that "show me your rear would get the proper attention. Clearly not. Haha :rolleyes:

    Let's see some more pics.....
     
  13. Here is my homemade flip of the rearend in my 49 Ford COE. The chassis is a 74 GM 1-ton. I put a c-notch in and added the inner reinforcement. I cut off the leaf saddle from the rearend and put it on the other side of the axle tube. Quick piece of tubing extension for the shock mounts. really pretty simple, just a lot of labor and welding.
