Re: 54 3600 lincoln aviator

Oh I forgot to mention that the aviator was hit in the front passenger side. I have a friend that can straighten the frame. So hopefully it will pull out enough to match the drivers side.
As for the wheels and tires the diameter is what I plan on keeping whether or not I keep the wheels. 24-26" s is about what looks best to me considering all 4 must be the same diameter for the awd. I believe my 51 has a 25" diameter. So hopefully they will clear, the fenders will come up a hair when I get support under the front. They are free hanging right now.
The bed believe it or not falls right inside the tires just barely. I'd say 1" on both sides. It will still be tight between IRS, if it hits a little I could always notch it a little. I will include a close up pick of the IRS. Name:  IMG_0580.jpg

Size:  55.8 KBOnce I get the radiator support figured out I will tackle the bed. I am dying to see the running boards on to see how far off the ground it's going to be. I may mock them up soon just to see. Thanks for the observations and concerns! I hope to be back on this full time soon.
