This would be a 50/50 GoGoDiesel/Paintmasters USA truck. The welding is being performed by a buddy. We are tacking things together with my lincoln 175 and after the frame is fabbed together I will be media blasting it to remove all the last traces of rust and undercoating. Then in comes the Miller Bobcat 250 to do all the finish welding. And then the frame will be epoxy coated.

Its a Chris Alston's Chassisworks piece. Here is a quote from their website
"Chassisworks’ g-Machine front end is a truly versatile high-performance suspension
solution, suitable for g-Machines, street rods, muscle cars, or any project in need of
optimized handling. State-of-the-art engineering workstations with Pro/ENGINEER
software—combined with our advanced, automated factory—enabled Chassisworks’
engineers to create a current-technology, competitively priced, handling performance
front suspension system. Chassisworks’ new g-Machine design, developed with the aid
of finite element analysis (FEA) software, is far superior
in performance, reliability, and ease of installation
than components made to directly replace 40-year-old
‘60s muscle-car geometry and variants of the 30-
year-old Mustang II suspension. Although late-model-
Corvette–based systems offer similar performance,
your choice of wheels is extremely limited to flat-face,
high-negative-offset wheels. The complete suspension
and steering system is factory‑welded directly to the
bent-tube billet-component crossmember, ensuring
perfect geometry and eliminating the need to weld
multiple pieces or make complicated measurements
while installing the system."
