When I rebuilt the frame on my Moon I bought several sheets of high density foam board. I then used this material to build a mockup. I used to do model airplanes and we did it that way. The advantage of using foam board is if you cut the wrong piece off you can just glue it back using the correct glue. It is light and easily carried and put in place. You can also make templates out of Masonite. Think of it as a canoe or John boat and you will be ok. You are always welcome to come by and take measurements.

I hung the rim from a ceiling rafter to take measurements. Next I am going thru my scrap pile to find some bar stock that I can cut, weld and machine. Interesting enough I have an old hose reel that looks like it will supply the steel. I am also remanufacturing a front bumper which is missing the center pieces and it looks like this reel will also work. I have to go to a wedding in Italy next month, so I need to get this done before I leave. Any other pictures I can provide from my truck. Jan

You need to understand the story behind the truck. It came out of a barn that had ten cars in it and a lot of other junk. I got what I thought was a spare tire mount for the screenside. It is close but not correct. The mounts do not set the tire correctly and can not be used without relocation. I am going to try and shift the brackets and create new brackets out of mild steel. I need examples to get the proper location. For some reason they cut the bottom bracket half off. Here is what the inside of the barn looked like and what I got.
