For your wheel tub...I guess measure the trailer fenders to see what fits the best. For your crossmember mount reuse the existing flange (or make one) and plug weld to side of trailer fender. Of course your cross sill will need shortening the matching amount.

Or carefully slice the bed side out, move it in the needed amount and fill the gap with 19 gauge.

TCI chassis...cool! Must be a new acquisition?

Doug,

I bought the chassis a year ago. It's nice - 4 link rear w/9 inch, IFS, Ride Tech coilovers all around and R&P steering. It saved me a ton of work and I don't have a lot of spare time with work and business travel. I had to weld in gas tank supports and still need to weld a steering shaft support and install the exhaust, then it's tear down time and off to the sandblaster and powder coater.
