In the previous episode we added a new custom frame rail to the solid axle swap (SAS) Dakota quad cab 4x4 that actually cleared our Super Duty Dana 60. Now see how I reinforce the seam between the welded old and new frame to prevent stress cracks or any other kind of failure! One word- fishplates. Welding in fish plates reinforce butt welds in frames or other high stress joints. They spread out the load so that the frame weld doesn't crack sure to a concentration of forces is the heat affected zones

We also fabricate a custom motor mount on to the new frame section using metalcloak duraflex joints. Not their intended application but we'll see how they work out.

Thank you all for being patient! I know I'm lagging in getting these videos up in a timely manner. Dad life is taking up most of my free time these days!
