If you have a 51-54 cab, you will need to remove 1/2" from the "above frame" portion of the rear cab stands and add a 1/2" delron spacer above the stock S10 body mount (this fits between the factory floor braces)
I bend the lower legs out at a 15deg. angle to decrease stress on the side of the frame
both these use the stock S10 body mount bushings above the cab stands.

In the above post, Chris has stated to remove 1/2" from the stand if you have a 51-54 cab and use a 1/2" delron spacer. In May, before the accident, I was talking with Chris via e-mail and he stated he was not using the delron any longer and was using an early camaro radiator mounting and gave me the link that shows the item.

Has anyone used these and/or what do you know about these? Thanks, Clay
