So it doesn't worry you when the body lines get all twisted out of shape? I'd wig out if I flex a frame that far, but I don't know a lot about 4 wheelin'. You've probably already modified to compensate for it.

I'll look for the pics, but this florida boy, took his 67 up to the ski slopes. The chains fit, sort of. then I spun it at 15 mph taking a hair pin up the mountain. The rest of the trip was uneventful and all had fun!

These frames are made to take a lot of flexing I will look up and article I have and paste a link to it about the flexability of these 4x4 frames. It is some way cool stuff.

I don't know about the 4x4 frame, but the 72 C20 I have has on more than one occasion had over 6 tons of rock in the bed, and also towed an 8 ton piece of equiptment. Still holding strong too.
