Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
Has anyone had trouble with the tailshaft of a 700r4 hitting the floorboard. Trying to set the cab and tranny hits floor right after the high hump trans cover

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
Got the steering shaft to fit with the stock ram horns. Whew, I didn't know if we were going to have room but ended up having plenty of room.
