Re: Project 74, Shorty
Much better choice with the Porterbuilt. It might be the angle but it looks like you would have driveshaft issues with the airbagit set up?

I'm going with a two piece drive shaft, I'm using Porter's carrier bearing cross member, so I should be fine.

Wow, truck looked great before. Now, you are just hitting it completely out of the park! Loving the paint on the tailgate. Looking forward to the fully painted pix.

Thanks, I didn't do anything they fit, at that height I have about a 1/4 from the firewall to the tire. I did have to tub the fenders.

Hey Denz,

Thank you, I will make brothers even if I have to tow it. I don't remember the name of the wheels, I've had them for a long time.
