But it will do for now just thankful that the wife loves me having these trucks around.

my stock frame has a clip grafted on and honestly these days I think that's a silly way to go. they sell some really great front cross member sets with top of the line suspension for not much more than a subframe would cost. with a subframe there are a lot of things left to chance. when I went to start fitting sheet metal nothing fit. the front of the frame was in the way. I had to rebuild all the front suspension and guess what I have now? brand new 1979 suspension. if I had used a cross member I would have a frame that my sheet metal would love and the suspension and brakes would be far superior to what I have now. I will never sub frame again. its just too cheap and easy to do the cross member these days and get awesome results.
