Leveling chassis

I'm getting ready to cut c notches and do other chassis work on a bare frame. What points do you all use for leveling, are these spots good to use for front to back &side to side?

Re: Leveling chassis

Looks good. I like to use the bed mounts cause they're normally parallel to the frame.

Re: Leveling chassis

I always use the top of the frame. Check it in three places front, middle and back to ensure no twist.

Yep...

When I built my chassis, I checked @ the front (as far up front as possible); near the center (between front & rear cab mounts), & @ the end of the rails.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
