Re: 1971 project
The wheels are in there for a measurement of the rear end. Looks like we're taking 6 5/8 out of the width of the rear end. The rear end is just a 12 bolt. Now that we have the measurement we can cut off the frame just under the back of the cab.

Re: 1971 project
Looks like we will need to cut into the bed rail for the tubs The welded in hitch isn't letting the truck lay frame towards the back. Looks like it'll go down another 3/8 without the hitch.
