Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd

Here are the pics!!!
The PO had torched holes in the frame that allowed it to crack, I cut the stiffener out and patched it and added a hump over that for strength.

The measurements called for 4 1\8 but that wouldn't work with the new 6.0 version DM. Had to move it to 5 1/4 to centerline the notch.

As you can see in this pic, the bright white mark is way too far back so I double measured and put the rack and pinion in diagonally to check clearance. I had to move it up quite a bit!
