Building frame to bumper chassis extensions

I cut up the truck frame to make expandable chassis extensions.
One side will be welded to the chassis plate and one side welded to the inside bumper sandwich plate. When they are welded and bolted back in place, bolts will be placed thru the two slides to lock them together. This will make for easy install and removal if needed.

The Wooden template was used to get the alignment of the plates to each other and then transfer to the truck chassis rail to make proper cuts. I finished the passenger side extension yesterday and started the drivers side today. They are mirrors of each other. They will be left open from the inside to place bolts into brackets and install bolts thru slides to lock them in place.

I am uploading this now, instead of working because it is RAINING again!
