How do you like the fitment of the Tin Works mounts and crossmember?

 

Their stuff is really nice and reasonable, great customer service too. I had Hooker Blackheart frame brackets and they just didn’t line up with the hardware holes and clamshell fbody mounts very well at all. The TWF engine mounts allow 3” of engine setback, their transmission crossmember allows engine setback and a 3” exhaust to go through it. Keeping the exhaust inside the frame rails will be important for a slammed truck.

 

I was looking at their trans crossmember for mine as it looks like a real nice product at a reasonable price.

 

Well, finished stripping the cab and it’s been put on the dolly so it can be brought into the shop, I’m doing a little sand blasting on the scale and surface rust outside right now but that is a REALLY slow process . As it turns out, I was all wrong about this cab being rust or rot free, after removing sill plates and sound deadening tar it has some cancer but not so bad that it cannot be fixed. The passenger outer/inner rocker boxes will need replacement along with a good sized portion of the floor panel so I ordered up those pieces" In the meanwhile I’ll get started on removal of said parts. Drilling spot welds can be a bit of a bitch when you can’t find them. I used my tractor to set the cab on the doll (carefully). Removed the glass.
