I also later added the tubular style trans member too.
Thanks. That’s what I was looking for. I’m going to bolt it in just in case I need to remove. I have the rear tubular member as well. Without the body here I’m kind of guessing on location. I am picking up a parts 53 panel to use for mock up and other parts for my younger son’s 49 3800 panel. Pics to follow! That 1/4” should be sufficient. I just want to get the motor in as close as it should be while I wait for the real thing. I want to get brakes, brake lines, axle, and driveshaft in. Maybe even the start of fuel lines. Not going to blow my wad on a tank if there are already 2 with Buster. I will try to slide it all forward this afternoon once the parts panel is home.
