I'm on it, removed the leaf spring front end and mocked up the crossmember. Could you take some close up pictures of yours in the rack notch area and also behind the crossmember to frame area?

Thanks.

Is that the auto lift in background next to the stair the third picture? Is space that tight in Holland that they stack garage/storage facilities?? Truck is looking great, outside photos got my architect side curious.

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
 

Do you have the bold in set from scotts?
Are you going to notch it? Or you leave it like this..?

Yes, the crossmember is a bolt in, but the truck sat a lttle too low for me, so I lowered the crossmemeber about 1 inch, and welded it also. This allowed room to install the rack without a notch, and room for tie rod movement. I now trying to figure out how to install the sway bar!

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
 

Very cool. How big is the work area you rent?

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
 

The work area that I have is around 45 M2

Glad you cleared that up. I just assumed you folks stored the cars up top in case of a dike failure.:lol:

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
 

We have a special person for that problem, he put his finger in the hole of the dike...:lol:
