Like a boss :tup: I like the full-size-frame rods though, they just look beefy as fuck. Check out the Ford COE builds, they C-channel the frame rails and lay them flat. They’re tough. ---

Need any other parts. Just saw this ad: [http://binghamton.craigslist.org/cto/2340586390.html](http://binghamton.craigslist.org/cto/2340586390.html) > 3 - 47 Ford Trucks $1000 or best offer > NO Title or paperwork Available > NO emails phone calls only > contact LANTZ AUTO & TRUCK PARTS at 607-862-9249 > or contact Don at 607-372-5510 I might be able to help move them locally if you just wanted to come down, get parts and then scrap them. ---
