A little trimming of the core support is required for rack install/removal. The Dakota rack works well with the GM pump and fluid lines. The Dakota parts are very plentiful in any wrecking yard. That is the direction I will go when I'm ready.

I have a Ind. Chassis Dodge Dakota in my 53 Chevy, and I have a Mll in my 55 GMC
Both are riding on 4 Bilstine and parallel leaf on the rear
Glad to see Steve is offering his X members again, Everything he told me in the meeting with him was true they work on a truck just like the truck they came from
That truck has been on the road I think for 6 years and I like the 53 for the ride and handleing at hiway speeds
I would get one of his center X-Members also, just make the center trans mount removal
