Need a dimension from one of you laid out guys - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've got a 68 swb fleet c10 with a suicidedoors wishbone super lift kit. I'm about to weld the brackets to the rearend.

My question is could one of you get me a dimension from the end of the frame rail to the center line of the axle/wheel when laid out. I just want to verify that my rear wheel is going to be centered in the wheel opening and I don't have a bed to put on to set it all up.

I'm wanting to know this too. Have you run into any other issues with the install?

My kit is on order and I'm just looking for tips from those who have BTDT.

Thanks,
Jeff

Does this kit not come with any instructions or dimensions?

As far as I know, no. Its looks to be pretty self explanatory, but since I picked it up allready mostly assembled and I don't have a assembled bed or another truck to take measurments off of I'm kinda SOL unless some one can help. If I had a bed sitting here I could just measure off of the floor mounting holes to the c/l of the wheel arch and be done, but without a bed floor and just bed sides I'm going to be leaving to much to chance.

It will all fall togeather how it is now, but I want to be positive that the wheel is going to be centered.

Doug-

Shoot me an e-mail and I will get you some measurements. Also, did you have the drive-train mocked up before you set your pinion angle on the rear diff?

The drawing in this thread appears to give 33.5" if you do a little math. Of course that is stock. Are you expecting yours to be different from stock?
