My Scott's bolt in IFS for my 51 was delivered yesterday, so I will be closely following your work! Might have a question or two...

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
I'm on it, removed the leaf spring front end and mocked up the crossmember. Could you take some close up pictures of yours in the rack notch area and also behind the crossmember to frame area?

Thanks.

Here is a picture of mine. I did not notch the frame for the rack. Your truck is looking good!

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
Is that the auto lift in background next to the stair the third picture? Is space that tight in Holland that they stack garage/storage facilities?? Truck is looking great, outside photos got my architect side curious.

Yes, the crossmember is a bolt in, but the truck sat a lttle too low for me, so I lowered the crossmemeber about 1 inch, and welded it also. This allowed room to install the rack without a notch, and room for tie rod movement. I now trying to figure out how to install the sway bar!

Glad you cleared that up. I just assumed you folks stored the cars up top in case of a dike failure.
