Bagged 60-66 help

[greengrenade]

Hey fellas, my buddy has a 65 swb that were gonna start work on next week. Hes keeping the stock 6 and 3 speed for now but has an lq9 and t56 goin in eventually. Were bagging the truck on 20" steelies and ill be doing all the fab work. Plans are step notch in rear, tri 4 link, bag on bar in rear. Front were doing 2.5 drop spindles, cupping the lower control arms and sectioning the stock crossmember 2". From what ive heard this should get us pretty much laying the bumpers on the ground. Couple quick questions as im not too familiar with these year trucks, i have a 59 apache myself. After i section the stock front crossmember i should slide it forward 1" from its original location correct ? Also does anyone have any pics of what they did with the steering after they sectioned the crossmemeber. Thanks for any help guys. Heres a pic of the truck as it sits now
