DIY Fabrication: Building Custom Body Mounts for My Chassis Swapped 1978 Ford

In this video, I show you how I designed and fabricated custom body mounts for my chassis swapped 1978 Ford F150. While swapping in a new chassis, I realized that the stock body mounts weren't going to cut it. So, I decided to build my own from scratch to ensure a smoother ride and better handling. I'll take you through the entire process, from designing the mounts to cutting and welding the steel, to installing them on the truck. Along the way, I'll share tips and tricks for DIY fabrication and explain the benefits of custom body mounts. Whether you're restoring a classic truck or just looking to upgrade your ride, this video is packed with helpful information and inspiration.

Thank you! It can be a challenge to film yourself. Sometimes it isn't in the best focus, your head is cut off, mic problems, etc. I try my best and always trying to improve in the next one!
Dont forget to sub if you haven't already! Thanks!
