DG, my cab sits fairly close to the frame. I like what you are doing and I can appreciate how much work and time it takes to get the fitment right. I wanted an HD but couldn't find one in my price range.

It sure is a dance to get the wheel to fit in the center of the fenderwell, keep the cab at the right height and fit the engine in where it isn't too far forward or too far back.

my engine is tight up against the cab. I have a big block. The valve covers will be a pain to take off, however, even where it sits, I barely have room enough for a fan against the radiator.

Does your truck have a big block?
