Raul, Can you run it horizontal along the centerline of the chasssis? Its hard to tell with the angle of the picture. If you crowd it into the center toward the drive shaft then maybe have your brackets drop from the bottom of the bed cross sills. Just a thought hard to tell with out being there with a tape measure.

raull · 11-02-2011, 01:06 PM

thanks Bryce , cross rails are not on there so yes that may work been that no mufflers will be there , ill check later , thanks again

**67cheby** · 11-02-2011, 01:18 PM

that was my thought... i think if it is close to your driveline and raised up you will have plenty room to clear you trailing arms

raull · 11-02-2011, 01:23 PM

yes i think so too , its hard just with looking at pix but now i know what u were trying to tell me , thanks guys

jmedero · 11-16-2011, 03:42 PM

I will treat her very nice.... Maybe even a new cowl hood.... I never really likes the fiberglass one that's on there.... Then I'd have to paint the hood... Touch up a couple of spots.... Maybe a stripe.... Color change? Air bags.... Bucket seats.... Oh no I'm screwed. Lol

I'm with you buddy mine will eventually get bagged as well but isn't in the cards right now so probably will be my next project after I'm finished building it. All these beautiful trucks like raull's and big al's make me really wish I could bag it sooner than later.

both you guys trucks are coming along awesome , air bags are mostly a stance for when its parked anyway , you can always add air later , lets finish all these trucks so we can hopefully drive them and meet some day
