I have the same C-clamp tool. Works amazing, using the right adapters One can pretty much rebuild the front end in less then half a day, or less depending on how much rust one has to fight pulling it apart
I don't know your luck with duralast products, and while I can use most of the products from the Zone, the one I stay away from is the balljoints-I have yet to have one last for more then 3 months-course I stopped getting them after the third free replacement.
I do like the work you have been...
yeah, missed the other post on other page, I saw crossmember, then the pics, and assumed it was on of the frame members.

looks pretty close to yours
my 85 1/2 ton truck (civvy) had a slotted one(top), replaced it with a 86 1 ton one(bottom). Curiously I have never seen another slotted although I honestly never really looked to see, only on the ones when the bed was off.
the slots on mine seemed pretty smooth, and still had the factory...
Looking good. I know it is hard to lower standards one thing always leads to another, plus side is you probably go a little farther/longer with that extra 1% fix though
No, copper work hardens, which means eventually the cable will break(from the continual bending of opening and closing the gate). I would go to Home Depot, I am pretty sure they sell coated cable which would work, but actual cables can't be too bad in price can it?
