Custom Chassis

i built gumps on 4 in blocks of wood and leveled and squared it out that way.

we built mine on the floor using wood blocks, but if i ever do another, it will definitely be built on a table. after seeing my buddy's table and how much easier it can make things, i will definitely try to build a table first next time around

i have a table built out of 6x6 H beam at my house, but now i use one of the tables at work, made of 1" plate..... i'd say the flat table is alot better, but unless you want to spend 2-3 grand on a slab of steel, you'd need to build a good square and level table with lots of xmembers if you are going to cover one with thinner plate, and use nice new steel like i beam, h beam, or big square or rectangular tubing to build a table..... dont use angle iron, it is never straight....

this is one of the sweeter ones ive seen thats real simple, love the leveling jacks, great idea!

Thanks Cris....I feel so special right now. LOL

it would be nice to have a table for mine. buts its not neccessary its just a mini truck thats just dragged half the time anyway

and thats really overbuilt with the H-beams as well. you could easily use 2x3 or similar.

I wouldn't use 2x3, something bigger really. 2x3 has a light crown to it.

I was going to use some 4x4 3/8" wall thats just lying around, but I have no way to really cut it.

I agree to an extent but I would use a 2x4 or 3x4 instead

James, You are showing the true REDNECK ways of Georgia now! Blocks of Wood, Concrete, and a beer can can do wonders!
