Thank you! As I recall it was about 28 1/4". I tried to recheck but its hard to measure with the a-arms back on. I ended up lengthening the wheelbase by 3/4". Im happy I did. Im happy with the look.

Do you mean 29 1/4? 28 1/4 would be less than stock.

you know, your probably right. I was running off of memory and that was a while ago. I couldn't really get a tape measure on it with the arms on the truck. I 'm sorry! but I do remember that I extended 3/4".

Well, I got a lot of progress done over the past week. I finished shortening the be down to short bed specs. I bolted up the tranny crossmember that I fabbed up, hooked up my shifter linkages and got most of the wiring completed and secured the battery. I should be driveable in the next week. prepped and in the paint booth by August and all of the loose ends tied up over the winter.

Did you end up c notching frame? Would love to see a video of first drive!

[nikwho]

Yes, it got c-notched. I will take some pictures and post them. I am very bad about taking pictures. Once I get momentum, I have a hard time remembering to stop and take pictures. I will make sure I record a video of the first drive and post it up.

went and picked up the front tires and had them mounted up. And did a little welding on the bed today. My buddy is coming over tomorrow and helping me wrap up the wiring and hopefully get the brakes bled. Getting closer every day!
