The angle would be too light for that span without some type of leg. 3" channel would be better but would add quite a bit of weight. If you want to stick with the angle, I'd add a couple of truss rods welded underneath to help support things.

Good lookin' gas pedal! :wink: Seriously, good job, you make me want to get to work on some of my "ideas"! Ron

Remember, a good sandblaster can be your best friend! Good luck withyour project,

BTW, I'm already telling the boss that I'm off on the 28th and 29th. SO now all you have to do is change the dates and not tell me. That's ok, I can handle rejection.

OK then, I don't think I need any more info on that topic!

And what's wrong with your old dress?

Good job on the recovery, and I don't think you need to worry about bending your frame with a straight pull. If you have the proper shear pin in the winch drive shaft, you won't pull your truck apart either.

Do we have a smiley for crying?:sad:
