More aftermarket chassis snooping brought up Scott's Hotrods AD chassis that has a pretty nifty crossmember/ frame support setup that most could use as an example to build their own. The only thing I don't like about that chassis is his overly complicated upper control arm setup for setting caster and camber. having to deal with that on a front end rack on a finished truck would send a front end tech running out the door screaming as you have to take the upper control arm loose from the frame to adjust it. I'd charge 100 bucks an hour straight time to align that front end and not feel guilty about charging it.https://scottshotrods.com/1948-1954-chevy-car-chassis/
