What material did you use to lengthen the 1/2 ton frame with? The 1t is taller, correct?

Love this truck, beautiful work y'all have done! Looks like it left Detroit like that!(Or Flint GM Truck and Bus plant, where the "factory" Crew Cabs are built/modified).
Dad always wanted a square body Crew Cab, but we had 5 square body Burbs. Now I have an OBS Crew Cab.

We used the same thickness as the original frame rail, welded that into place then added an over wrap of steel with large circles to do flood welds, and it over lapped the 1st weld.

Really cool, thanks for posting !
I actually saw it in person a few months back when I was leaving Home Depot in Surprise. You were driving through and I thought I recognized it. Great Job!
