Nice work and looks like a great project

This looks like a cool start to a rad truck. I have a question about the frame shortening though... and I am not throwing shade: is that the entirety of the shortening process? Just the short-ish doubler-channel bolted in the middle like that? There is obviously some good fab work happening there, but where the frame is bolted back together doesn't look up to that task to me.

Again, not flaming, just wondering I have missed something?

It does get welded also, I just didn’t have that done for the picture
