Continuation of my above post. Sorry had router issues.
Besides the obvious rear suspension fabrication, I noticed I'm gonna need to...
-tunnel the cab floor for driveshaft clearance
-notch the frame crossmember behind the cab
-build an entirely new exhaust system from front to back
-build a new trans crossmember
Figured I might cheat just a few days from my September 1 planned start date.
So I cleaned out part of my shop and brought it in and leveled the frame in preparation for modification.
Now, I am looking for advise and guidance from folks with experience in this stuff.
1) What thickness of steel are step notches typically made of ?
2) is there a common universal fuel cell from Summit or someplace that works real well when mounted in the back of the frame ? I can measure and comparison shop but maybe there's a well know fitter
3) In light of the discussion earlier about longer link bars causing less pinion angle change, is there an ideal formula or is longer better regardless ? I'm thinking I'm gonna move my mounts forward and build longer bars than I originally planned.
