Sweet. Looks like it's more or less supposed to be there.

its pretty close, looks like i can drill some new holes and the rear mounts will work. front will have to figure something out

How much clearance do you have between the 271 and the frame web when it's clocked up like that?

can get my hand in there so enough room

36" 80s frame, right?

I'm basically wondering if I can fit a 271 into a 32" frame without offsetting the trans so much that I have to start hammering firewall and tunnel.

i can measure this weekend but i wouldnt think it would fit. its really tall tcase as its rotated up now so flat on the bottom but taller then the frame rail. also really wide, like i might have to build a new trans crossmember as the angled mount from the top of the frame to the crossmember might be in the way of the drive shaft now

drilled some new holes in the cab and used some OBS ford body mounts and got the rear of the cab mounted, front is still sitting on wood. with the cab "mounted" i took some measurements and cut 14" out of the frame to make the short box i have fit







fish plate



nice and short, sitting at about 117 wheel base

had to trim the rear of the box and its just sitting there for right now but wanted to get it on there and see how it lined up with the cab. its a "wrong" box so the body lines dont match but from what ive found for pictures i have it pretty close to matching the cab



with the box on i was wanting to get a real feel for it so finally got around to mounting my 39s up. picked up some Black Rhino beadlocks like a year ago, really liking the look of them



and damn that looks good



will have to do some fender trimming on the front for sure

That will look great finished up. Got a nice stance on it

its a little high in the back right now but i do have a 1" block i can pull out. its defiantly taller then i was hopping for but oh well

Might come down a bit more as you bolt more parts on too eh.

Those beadlocks are sexy AF.

im sure it will drop a little but even then its going to be tall, im sort of ok with it as not going to be a hardcore rig

[pointsnorth]

looks friggin badass

[HillBilt]

Damn Son!!

Should at least get a teaser pic with the boggers on it

[Snowracer]

been chasing rust and think ive cut out about 25% out someone before me did some repair and it was pretty hack, not saying what im doing is much better as dont have the right tools and not cutting all the rust out.



even had the gf helping



not pretty but will keep our feet in and the bottom of the A pillar is solid-ish again
