Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step
I was concerned with the drop I would run into clearance issues. With the mounts in the top location (there are two locations) I have no problems. The truck pan sits almost even with the front cross member as well as the transmission pan. I attempted to take several pictures of this, but it is a little hard to see. I ended up having to drill a hole in the center of the transmission cross-member since the transmission I am using only has one mounting bolt.
All of the sheet metal has been to the sandblaster and is now primed and waiting for body work. I ended up using a different cab, which still needed a bit of work, so it will have a new floor, to include a high hump to clear the transmission, rockers and cab corners. Since I will be using aftermarket air, I will be cleaning up the firewall a bit and closing up the old air-box holes.
This has me all caught up for now.
