Re: 49 3600, s10 swap, project boogie

I'm setting up my mounts also. How did you locate your front mounts?

I used 4x4 tubing and mounted them 1.75 inches forward of the oval hole on the frame, just tacked for now. I based this on Bartmans YouTube tech and him noting he wished he mounted his to put his tire in the front wheel well just a tad further forward. I went the the 1.75 because I think it looks ok with the tires a little forward of center but goofy with the tires a little rear of center,

For my front mounts, from the frame to the top of the S10 bushing is 4 in. I wanted mine nice and low too but also didn't want to much of a tunnel and wanted to avoid a drive shaft tunnel. I have 2 in. dropped spindles on the front and 3 in. blocks on the back. I'll wait till I'm done to see if dropped spring or leaves are in order, or better yet, maybe bags.
