Flipping the T/A mounts may be a good idea.

Thanks Buck. Once I do the LS swap I will likely replace the trailing arm crossmember, since they are fairly cheap (for me since I have no torches and can't weld). For this first rev I will check the pinion angle and flip the t/a mounts if I need to.

The PB trailing arm crossmember looks pretty sweet because of all the adjustments. Looks like I could center the wheels in the wheelwells and custom tune the pinion angle pretty easy.

Really enjoyed your threads today and your TADD tagline seems pretty accurate.!! and of course I loved your '68 and the color.!! Love the slant noses.!!
