Lol, sorry guys I'm not making it for anyone. I'm about halfway through it and already have about 25 hours of labor invested in it. I'll be sure to take some measurements when its done though.

I'm planning on getting it coated black, and painting the frame the same color of the truck. We'll see though.

I'd be happy with the measurments, I can weld, but would need to find someone to bend the tube.

you can get cheap tubing benders at harbor freight. now having said cheap, if it breaks then just weld it back together.
