thanks for the compliments so far guys !!!
the double kickouts turned out kinda tricky, but I really wanted to do them, with one you can just do it, and then round off the other end regular which is real easy to measure... bender, i have no idea what it is... it is a huge old thing at work, clickable - (thumbnail doesnt show thin autoCad lines)looks and works kinda like that, manual, PITA to make them both the same... nope, not gonna make them for anyone since I did all the welding and grinding at work, (on my own time nonetheless), and cant really do it a lot

Nice work. I was just cutting some cardboard templates for my scab plates and gussets at work today. Gotta stay busy somehow.

just need to get them on... cardboard templates are good, for this project I didnt need anything like that, but I've got a cardboard front and rear bumper... when I get more $$ may get those converted to steel

Any more tips for the novice wishing to copycat (most sincere form of admiration) your stuff?
What kind of welding did you do? I've got a buddy with a MIG welder and I was hoping to use that to make up some use-able sliders. Nice design and work! Can't wait to see the finished pictures.

well, if you copy mine, you are also copying everyone else's out there, but since i dont think any one person can take credit for a design like this, it shouldn't matter
I think the cost of these things is in the labor (and maybe steel), not the design. I used a Miller wire feed, dont know what model, but its about 2x2x3feet and must have like a 100% duty cycle (works). To draw these up, just take good dimensions off your truck, and measure and build them to exactly how YOU want them to look. I had drawn up complete prints for everything even the tube, but threw em out when i realized how difficult it was to make them exactly to a print, and then just bent em till they looked good. The measurements are all posted up in the first post, except the scab plates that are 3x3" and the legs that are placed (on center) (from one end of sliders) at 10" 25" and 42" (for a 3rd gen)

It looks like all the legs are the same length. I don't know about the newer rigs but didn't that necessitate putting the front leg kinda far back? Maybe yours is different but on my 85 the front leg is way forward where the frame starts to angle inward and is longer and the mounting surface is angled. I do like the design though. Just thought that was weird about not having one long leg

yeah, all the same length, the front leg is actually only 10 inches from end (on center) and the 'rear' is 16 from end (on center) due to other mounts and crap in the way on the frame... strength wise it will be just fine
