47-53 rear axle centerline?
I hate to ask for such critical things, and I did mark the centerline but my bed is 120 miles away in a barn so a mock-up is not going to happen and I'm ready to set up the rear axle location for good. Does anybody with a very low truck care to share where the rear axle centerline is set? I believe the mark I made is about 1" rearward from factory.
A dimension from the rear frame horn would be great as a gut check. Thanks!

If it'll help, I've got a .pdf file with all the stock frame dimensions. it's too big to upload here, but if you can send me your email address, I'll forward it.

Re: 47-53 rear axle centerline?
My pleasure! I'll ask the questions and you come build my truck! Fair deal I think.

I will come work on it, your further ahead than mine.
I have a few things to purchase, and then I hope to play some catch up.

Man I wish I was still working in OKC, I had NOTHING to do M-F except go back to my hotel room after work. We could have teamed up and whooped your truck.

Re: 47-53 rear axle centerline?
It would have been appreciated. I have to buy a few things and get some stuff off the truck due to my small work space. Once I do, I am gonna take off 3-4 days combined with a weekend and try to knock out a bunch of stuff.
