1400 cage design

[glamiskid395]

im about to build my gmc 1500 into a 1400 truck and i am not completely clear on the cage design to be SCORE legal. i know it has to be 2" .120 DOM.

if anyone has a CAD or similar drawing that is 3D, could you post it up?

thanks
Mike

how many feet should i buy to be able to cage front to back. i will be cutting off the back half of the frame and do a custom cage for a 4 link.
the truck is an extended cab chevy.

tape the design then measure the tape..gets you in the ball park. then add 10% for waste/ test fits.

Bend Tech will save you a lot of time (if you don't bend tube all the time that is) and will also calculate for the tube used up in the bend.

I personally believe this program is a steal at the price they sell it!!!

another question
on the rear, i will be cutting off the stock frame rails.
i see alot of different ways to tube it, does anyone have a good solid way i should do this? any pictures..
