the WORST FRAME MODIFICATION I've ever encountered

This was the most dangerous and worst frame modification I've encountered in a long time. The customer brought in his Silverado to install Cal Tracs and ‪@atomic178‬ rear shock relocation kit, but when we took the bed off, we found a horrendous installation of a c-notch that left the frame extremely weak. The good news is we can fix it with a little bit of welding and a reinforcement plate, and we'll be as good as new.

This is my truck. Had no idea about the frame under the bed because the c notch was done by previous owner and from the angle I could see under the truck it’s hard to see in the inside of the frame. From the outside it looks pretty solid. Glad LT found it and is making it as structurally sound as possible.

[@davebenedetti7072]

About 12 years ago I was building a house on a street that had a newly renovated or newly built library. It had all new glass. One morning, a welding fabricator was on the roof edges grinding away. I had to get to the job, but I should have stopped to say something. I found out that all of the glass had to be replaced at a cost of several tens of thousands. Ouch!

Glad to hear the business in moving. I'm sure the neighborhood and surrounding areas are glad that you opened up; a mechanic shop is a much needed business around any community.

[@scotttimpany2845]

Glad to see you're looking out for the customer LT. Cutting a frame, especially on a truck that is used like a truck, is dangerous unless the area is adequately braced. Can you image what would happen after a trip to Home Depot and a ride home over the railroad tracks??

[@jameslmorehead]

Your attention and dedication to detail will take you far. Another shop would have ignored this, or just did the welds on the inside, without boxing the frame. From the looks of it, this was a DIY kit that was sold years ago. Part of the selling point was you didn't need to remove the bed, which is why it wasn't welded inside nor boxed. It also came with two templets to cut out the notch. Looks like they used the wrong one on the one side with all the extra missing metal. Luckly, the company that was selling these kits was sued out of exsistance because of how unsafe this design is. You can get away without boxing the frame, but you can't get away without fully welding inside and out.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Isn't it amazing how something can be done half way and still hold together! This thing will be done right and even stronger than factory now!

[@jamiefehr2180]

The reason that Notch was cut like that is because some of those frames had a bulge in it that won’t let the c notch plate sit flat against the frame

[@stevekinser-wj6hz]

You called it. To my knowledge belltech only one that has notch formed to clear the bulges

[@shakenfake]

[@jamiefehr2180]

@@shakenfake I know because mine had it, was so confused why I never see any other truck online with the same problem

[@shakenfake]

@@jamiefehr2180 Yeah I have a 99 too. McGaughy's actually has two part numbers for their c-notch to compensate for that and RideTech makes a note of this in their 4-link installation instructions.

Damn good job, my friend. It's good for the trucks owner that you actually care about your customers and not just how fast can I do this and the money that changes hands. Quality work and gettin' er done right is the only way to go. 👍🇺🇲✌️🇺🇲

[@mwalker9401]

I've found three issues with those heatshrink/self soldering butt connectors. By the time it's hot enough to melt the solder the heatshrink is melting off the connector, the heat shrink is way too thin and offers insufficient abrasion and puncture protection, and there is no adhesive to ensure that it's actually water tight. I'll stick with good heat shrink tubing with adhesive placed over a proper solder joint.

[@carguy3028]

I cut my frame in half to make it a short bed, I had my brother who was a certified welder weld it back together because of how important it was. I made sure everything was set up in advance and that he would do it.

[@FrankRoark]

Yikes, That must be a 99-00 truck? The frame had some bulges on it that interfere with the notch. Looks like they just cut them out. I bought the Ride tech notch for mine that takes that bulge into account. I'm doing larger full step notches when I get around to the 4link kit.

[@mikeiver]

Many moons ago I did fabrication and machine work. Nice to see conscientious workmanship being done. There is allot of wonky crap being passed off on KZbin now days. This fix was not one of them. Nice detail seeing that you removed the mill scale from the hot roll plate before attempting to weld it.

[@BilletGarage]

On that questionable frame notch, any chance they shortened a long bed frame? The weird cuts make me think the frame was shortened at some point, then the C-notch was an after thought.

[@brentfellers9632]

That's a possibility 🤔, but why in God's green earth would you splice between the spring purches? You may shorten the wheel base, but now you need custom springs...😮😅😂😅

[@heathhunter5306]

If you were working in my shop, I'd be inclined to inform that you still have a little bit of green showing. Not to put down your work or anything, but you committed a few things. For starters, its industry standard to never weld or drill on the leading edge (usually top and bottom of channel frames) as it will create a stress riser, leading to a crack/split in most areas. Frame tails are safe, as they only have pressure from one direction, not both sides. This is why beds USUALLY bolt through on the tails and bolt to a mount anywhere in the middle. The frame WILL, and is designed to flex as part of the suspension. It's designed to resist flex in several directions without positive blocking, which would attempt to stop the flex, resulting in added stress elsewhere, possibly a bend. What I've seen not pointed out is that the frame is supposed to have a "crumple" or redirection/absorption area, which is right there above the axle, so that load can be applied by the spring perches, and not directly over the crumple zone. What you missed by Seam welding everything is that the frame has extra wraps that should be left untouched, instead of just a bare 3 sided c. Those shouldn't receive welding near an open edge. They are there to allow holes and whatnot on the top plate. The inner boxing channel applies the same, but I think those "boxing" braces you added are probably just fine, since I dont see any directly adjacent flex points that would create a stress riser. Not sure if you are aware, but that round tube crossmember is the pivot point of the frame, for what it's worth. Every other brace is designed for more deflection type of flex, while that only has torsion. These are just things to consider when planning your work.... I know how absolutely tempting it is to seam weld everything, which I'm totally guilty of myself. If you take anything from this, always remember 1 very important thing: airplanes don't have squared windows or doors for a very good reason.

[@Fossillarson]

You should totally go xray it for them 😮

The Forney plasma cutter is a handy unit! It can be finicky, especially if you have moisture in the air lines and burn up those tips immediately 🤣 Awesome job on fixing up the frame notch ✌🏼

[@FutureEon]

🚛💥👀 It's fascinating how hidden surprises can be lurking beneath the surface of our vehicles. The previous owner's frame modification on your truck's bed certainly caught you by surprise, and it's understandable that it's difficult to spot the inside of the frame from certain angles. Luckily, LT's expertise and attention to detail will ensure that your truck becomes structurally sound once again. It's important to address these issues and make the necessary repairs to ensure the long-term integrity of the vehicle.

One thing I've learned from both the trades and now 10 years of doing this kinda stuff is that everyone thinks everyone else's work is just the most horrible pile of crap to ever leave a shot, I promise someone has opened up your work and said the same things you said about this. The most likely the customer could of driven the truck for 20 years like that and never had a problem.

[@stevanrose7439]

I like the heat shrink connectors. But be careful not to put too much heat on the solder because it will melt the plastic. Once it flows get the heat off and just shrink the plastic.

[@TUMBADO]

The reason they cut the frame that way is because in 99-02 there was a different style of frame pieces by the diff the cut out they did used to have a 1/2in bump out...and in order for the notch to sit flat they would need to cut it no matter what....in this case when a customer has this type of frame I suggest the underbed notch on my website instead to avoid it breaking in the future

[@TUMBADO]

They also did not weld the inner C PLATES From the inside and that will cause a future brake if it's not welded

[@dougngwenlawson3886]

PO had cut holes in the trailing arm crossmember to run the exhaust through, going to gusset them up. hopefully she will pass inspection after that.

[@Blake.C]

I could be wrong but I think that spot of the frame has some weird bulges that probably didn’t allow the notch to sit flat against the frame. Not saying it’s done right, just could see someone doing that to make it fit without spending time to smooth it down flat.

[@spencernadeau3860]

I don’t thing you can do a bigger notch on a step side bed without cutting into the bed rails and possibly the floor of the bed. I may be wrong but I’m still figuring my own truck out. 2002 gmc sierra regular cab step side same metallic pewter as in the video, just not any where as clean.

I'm a retired ASE mechanic and I was taught never to use solder to make a connection, you must first make a strong mechanical connection "ie crimping twisting" and then use solder to hold the connection. I've been retired now for 15 yrs, has that changed?

[@ryanmacewen511]

Warnings about the low temp shrink connectors. Few things: 1. Older tarnished wiring will not allow for a good solder joint. You have to brighten the copper, and by all means add your own flux; at this point you might as well do it properly, and use proper solder, and marine shrink. This way you can control the quality of the connection. 2. Lower temp solder. If you don't get a good bond, it will make heat, and melt away entirely, leaving exposed conductor. You can use imagination to count possible avenues of shorting. It's nice on the surface, but I recommend heat shrink seal CRIMP butt connectors over the solder type. It's safer. Great videos, but you should mentions the downsides. If you are taking the time to make a nice build, soldering with an iron is actually just as fast.

[@ericquatkemeyer7084]

Down under here in New Zealand, we have to have such structural mods engineer certified and done by a certified welder. At first we grumbled about the rules, but when I see this, I see the sort of things we used to do when I was young and crazy, and which we staked our lives on out on the highway. The rules are good, and mods and rods here are well engineered today. It amazes me that what we'd call 'backyard' mods are still legal in the US.

[@joshuaanothereraseddad]

Shade tree mechanic for life. Real men die without certified work haha! Nah, some states do have strict safety inspections and things like botched work is caught and the vehicle rejected for highway use. That said, don't move to Florida. In other news, kinda fascinating how we don't have such regulations as y'all Kiwis (friend Mick is from NZ) and we don't have vehicles falling to bits everywhere. I reckon we're doing alright without all the extra "certifiers". Cheers.

You actually want the axle .5° less of an angle because it dips during acceleration and use on a leaf spring suspension. Unless you have a 4 link the rear axle is under torque pressure when in gear that changes the angle vs rested angle.

Uncle Tony’s Garage does a lot of showing the creampuff flippers that are in circulation that rip the unassuming buyers off. He is Tony DeFeo who used to write for all of the mags and even raced a fuel Altered back in the day. I spent years fixing other people’s junk. I had to do a bunch of re- repairs on a 65 tri- power 4 speed GTO. He wanted a little more power, so I build him a 400 with 14 degree angle heads and an Edelbrock tri-power intake. It looked stock after it was done. It had a really good cam for it , it would wind to 5800, and sounded like a RAIV, the specs were replacement for it and with 3 inch pipes to the bumper and those voluptuous manifolds the owner found . Original number tri-power set. I had to put a tune on the Rochesters to get them right. I had to fill the air bleeds where someone had drilled them out and set the secondary linkage back to stock. I guess they were getting a sag when the secondary came in. It wanted more initial timing and that fixed it. My brother in law and I did it all. I looked all over for a 347/ 370 crank with the small mains 4 bolt and a spacer kit. They were steel and could be offset ground to 3.7 very close to stock and have perfect overlap. A 370 tri-power ran in NASCAR and Smokey Yunick liked the steel small main best and quit when they insisted on the 3 inch main. I ended up using the 3 inch one but used the 4 bolt mains. We took it out to seat the rings. Everyone has their own opinion on seating them, but with a moly top ring, mine and my brother in laws is a well built engine needs a good hard run . I did that on all of my FE Fords. Fire them up, rev them up and down and look for leaks, set the timing, back it out drive the snot out of it. Ive never had any issues in the 50 years building them. Never let them sit and idle or run at one speed. I d slow one down to 50 mph and floor it up to 90 kick it in N and avoid deceleration and put it back in gear, 40-70. for the first 1000 miles, change the oil cut the filter too off and check the pleats on the filter for metal. Usually some but not much. Anyway we had the owner and we did our usual 3:00 A M 50mph WOT to 130in high and the owner was scared to death lol. We pulled 3 times and by the third pull it went from perfect primary to honking 6V and it sounded like a Holley DP, smooth and so fast that the road narrowed down was the main sense. He took it and he was scared to death of it. He drove it like a granny, lol.

With this, you can cut any slag, bur, knob with the edge, yet use the frat side to clean, polish or any thing you want with it.... Try it, you will like it

In UK any alteration to a vehicles chassis has to undergo an 'Individual Vehicle Approval' test, which involves an inspection by Vehicle and Operators Service Agency (VOSA) that would have highlighted such a dreadful modification.

so a question on driveline angles. When I set the LT1 in my 37 PU, it doesn't have much rake, It's almost flat. Maybe 1 degree. Of course I'll match the pinion angle once I have some weight on the rear of the chassis. But my question is, is there an issue with the engine sitting basically flat.

[@countryjoe3551]

If you don't have 2 or 3 degrees of u joint angle, the trunnions on the cross of the u joint do not move enough to cause the needles in the caps to rotate around inside the caps. The needles will flat spot and will cause brinelling of the trunnion diameters. Long story short, it will cause very short u joint life.
