Re: 1974 SWB "Clifford" goes to Oklahoma

My rear tires are 295/45/18

I've already been up under there looking at the current notches. I think I can get the welds cut nicely and should be able to salvage the whole setup to sell to someone else wanting 7" drop with AOL spring helpers. It is really a nice setup if you want a low static drop and still be able to haul about anything you want

That was my intent. I was wanting to do a T/A conversion before CPP had theirs (which was before PB's as well). I don't like CPP's arms so once they came out w/the swap kit, I was going to just use their x-member w/some stock arms. Wasn't sure what placement would be needed for the bags so I wanted to easily be able to remove what was there.

I usually add the welds as insurance for safety (I use bolts on weld-in stuff too ).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Let me know. I may be interested in the notch and bag mounts if you can save it. That setup is handy beyond belief. I hauled a pallet (80 bags) plus 20 bags of mulch with it. I aired up the bags at Home Depot, then went around to load it. An F250 took a pallet right before me and it squatted bad. The guys didn't want to load mine, and they kind of freaked when it hardly squat. I had to explain that my truck was just freakishly awesome.
