Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build

I also ran into another snag, apparently my cab has been sitting on the trailing arm crossmember. Not sure exactly how i'm going to fix it yet but I have a few ideas.

It's not supposed to do that, I'm guessing you bought a cab/bed mounting kit, well did you have any washers left over?
If not you may have too many washers on the wrong side of the frame mounts.

Well it happened because the rear portion of my floor is stock suburban and in the suburban the trailing arm crossmember is farther forward then it is now. I added like 20 some inches to the wheel base so there is no clearance in this area of the floor to clear the crossmember. It is not a big deal I knew it was close, just need to decide how I want to fix it. This is one of the things I would have done different if I started this project today I would of used the truck cab floor in the rear and I wouldn't of ran into this problem. I am also going to have to fab all seat mounting points as well because of this.
