Moving anything suspension wise will alter other things like the above mentioned c-notch placement. Shift the bed or the bed-sides on the bed to get the look you seek.

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.

As far as I know is original short box. Frame doesn’t have any fish plates/boxing. Didn’t see any scars from being under the knife and right behind the cab looks untouched.

I guess that is an option as well. Will have to toy with it. Appreciate all the input and ideas.
