Hello everyone. While I have been a member for a while now, I have not felt a need to post. But, now I have a reason to do so.
I have been working on a build up of a Bronco II, it is a fairly ambitious project. About the only thing that will be left of the original vehicle is the body, My plan is a sbf, zf5, d44 and a 9" (maybe tons if I can find a donor). I have it stripped down to the shell and setting on stands.
Today I picked up some 2x4 .120 wall tube to start a custom frame, and thought I would ask you guys for some advice. After thinking on it a bit more, I am not sure if the 2x4 will be the right choice for a frame. Since you guys build such awesome machines and beat the holy living stuffing out of em I thought I would ask for some input.
Some reasons for wanting a new/custom frame are...
1. I want one 
2. It will give me a much better foundation to mount the axles,
shocks and other items. The front section of these frames
are not straight pieces by any stretch of imagination.
3. I can widen the frame to alleviate some of the clearance
issues these trucks have when swapping in the v8 and non-
stock transmission.
So... What would you guys recommend for a frame material.
