Re: Wheel centered in opening ?

I have to go with what Joedoe suggested. weight it down with the same weight as the engine and trans would be and see what it looks like.

When my buddy was sub framing a lot of trucks (he quit counting around 25) he would set the wheels about an inch forward so that they were centered when the suspension settled.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
