Did you have to shorten or narrow the frame at all? How does the wheel positioning look when the fender are on?
Looks like a great project!
Just cut 2in off nose rewelded and fliped leaf springs around that's it !!I was gona tub it and run a narrowed 9 in but changed my mind Toyota drive trains are really tough !!! ? How many yota trucks have u ever seen with rear end problems . I've only seen motors give out . Now if u decide to use a narrow rearend I would get two frames cut them n half strip the nose on one and weld back together . It's works out fine cuz its already a full tubed frame !!!!!! I think the measurementwas 34in useing 15/15 weld Rims with a 7.5 center offset . And u can ajusting the ride height also just by turning a bolt !!!!
Oh the tail of the frame !!!! Just have to cut 9inches off reuse the crossmember pre tubing reweld your done just have fab up brackets for body supports . And there are motor mounts to put a small block Ford or Chevy n those frames no cutting or fanning those . I will post more pics of my progress.hope u have fun building urs like I have.
