I agree however I did test fit the core support and there is some play with the mounting position (left/right/forward/back); the only issue I can is if the support it too high...I guess time will tell!

QUOTE=Houston54;2062293]With the front sheet metal being indexed off the core support you could have alignment and fitment issues when you reinstall the front clip if those mounts are not dead on. On my 54 I had to fab a whole new crossmember and even using a jig off the old mounting holes I am having challenges getting everything fitting as it should.
The task force trucks lend themselved to sub frames much more so than the AD series trucks like my 54. I am hoping it is not an issue when I go to do mine.[/QUOTE]
