I think he means under body tool boxes like trucks with flat beds use to store cargo straps etc,.

Exactly —Job-box–watertight storage for just about anything. In my business cables for video and film shoots are stored there. I’ve seen highway boxes that were bigger than some apartments I’ve had. BTW- thanks for the smarts. I was kinda stumped by the look of it but man, this was one fine looking rig and he was doing about 85 mph back North. In the bed the truck was sporting a bona fide fifth wheel set up so I knew that the frame work was ( or should have been) durable – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> RE/ > >highway boxes > ??? > Pete Cresswell > I think he means under body tool boxes > like trucks with flat beds use to store cargo straps etc,. > Posted Via Uncensored-News.Com – Still Only $9.95 – http://www.uncensored-news.com > With Servers In California, Texas And Virginia – The Worlds Uncensored News Source > Webmasters New RevShare Program http://www.uncensored-news.com/revshare.html

I havn’t seen this done in a while. everything drivetrain related is conected to the bottom frame. The bottom of the second frame is cut to match the contor of the top of the bottom frame and welded on to it. Most of the front frame is cut out for clearance and the body is atached to the top frame. Brake lines/steering/transmision linkage is just as if it were a 6" body lift. This makes a very high very strong rig. It was quite common to see it used in building monster trucks when they were still real trucks and not 300 foot dragsters Posted Via Uncensored-News.Com – Still Only $9.95 – http://www.uncensored-news.com With Servers In California, Texas And Virginia – The Worlds Uncensored News Source Webmasters New RevShare Program http://www.uncensored-news.com/revshare.html

Howdy-if anyone has a moment to explain how this works. I’m familiar with lift kits and that sort but the other day I was plugging along in my small gofast and a GMC 3500 P/U went roaring by me. I noticed it not because of the noise but, because it was up far enough to be able to use highway boxes underneath the body and box and not the skinny kind either, they looked about 14-18 inch units. I down shifted, caught up to him and, noticed that it appeared to have TWO frames, one on top of the other. How are the linkages performed on this—phooey how is any of this done? If you have a moment could you take the time to ’splain this? I think I’d be great to get my ‘89 6.2L Suburban up enough to use boxes and etc. mark
