Ty n 10s
The frame is totally complete and stripped down ready to send to the powder coater. Complete frame weights less than 250 lbs. I also weighed all the cage pieces (12 point...to be installed during final assembly) and it weight in at 70 lbs. I am really pleased on how light this all turned out. Fab guy Bill worked his magic again!
Some pics...The next time you see this frame it will be PCed and being assembled for the last time.
I took some extra pic of some of the detail work...
This is the detail for the front crossmember. The brackets for the a-arms, coilovers, sway bar, steering rack and motor mounts are all attached here. The crossmember is offset in the center to clear the pan for easy removal. Also the main frame rails are widened in front of the cross member to clear the radiator to line up with the stock core support mounting bolts.
Detail of the offset crossmember for pan clearance, the billet brackets to mount the steering rack and the lower a-arm mounting brackets.
Detail of the counter sunk welded thread bung for the core support mount.
Detail of the threaded bung that the weather tight power wire connector will screw into. The power wire will run inside the frame to the rear located battery. Also a bung was welded here for one of the ground straps.
Detail showing the threaded brackets that the exhaust system bolts to. When installed there is one V-band, two bolts and unplug the wire to the electric cut-out to completely remove the exhaust. A short turn down can then be clamped via the v-band for open exhaust at the track. This would be done for weight savings as each side exhaust weights about 40 lbs.
Detail showing mid point Ty body mount. The larger hole in the corner gusset is where the cage will come down through the body into this. The cage will be able to be lowered inside the truck (down through a series of these holes) for final assembly and paint then lifted up and final welded to these gusset plates. Also the frame is notched where needed, for exhaust clearance.
Detail of transmission cross member with driveshaft loop. Made of chromoly, the whole thing weighs like five lbs...two bolts (welded nuts) take it out.
Detail of battery box tucked up under the rear between tire and bumper. One bolt to take out the battery.
Detail of bracket for mounting electric fuel pump. Easy to get to...
Details of the parachute bracket and the quick attach receiver. There is a spring loaded pin(not shown) that holds it in place. This receiver is located behind the fold down license plate. The bracket is easily removed for street driving.
The Chris Aliston Fab-9 rear end housing is made of chromoly and weights in at 65 lbs...
There are many little tapped/threaded holes at various places in on the frame for brake line brackets and fuel line brackets. Also mounting holes for a tubular rail mounted trans cooler and other misc brackets.
Hopfully I will be able to post the pics of the powder coated frame in tha couple of weeks as well as the painted body.
