installing the new subframe

after stripping the donor truck to the bare frame i cut the front section of the frame off and allowed some extra length for trimming later. then came the part i dreaded most--cutting the old frame off the ford. once i did this there was no turning back. i took a deep breath and broke out the sawzall. now it was time for a test fit with the new section. i could tell at this point that i had to do a lot of trimming to make this new frame section look like it was supposed to be there.
