They will bolt up but 1/16 of an inch clearance from the frame is not enough. I still have to patch the firewall on the left side also...
Did you trim the frame front the motor mount back to the cab for clearance? Im at the point where I'm ready to do the frame mods and it'd be nice to know where to trim prior to engine/frame mock up. Thanks in advance for any help. And I'm guessing about 1/4" - 3/8" to trim?
