This is that frame after I carefully cut all the welds and did a temporary fix to the frame so I could move it over the highway.

By the way, what size tires do you have one the rear of that '29? I've considered stepping up a size for more payload. I am running 6.50x20 rears and 6.00x20 in the front on my '28 dump truck.

6.00s will haul every thing you could possibly load on your truck. I hauled a pallet of 4" cinder blocks weighting 4,300 lbs. in a'62 1/2 ton pu with 6 ply mil.tires 16" 30 years old tires a distance of 30 miles with no problem. Make sure your tires are properly inflated. that is the main cause of a blow out is under inflation!!!!!!!!!!!
