I've put my 80 GMC K20 chassis under an old 49 International truck body. The front wheels need to move about 2-1/4" forward for the 39" Michlins to be centered in the wheel openings. I don't want or need any lift. Is it a sin to drill new mounting holes in the leafs? There are only two leafs in this spring. This truck is a city looker/snow driver. She's too hard to find body parts for to go off-roading.
