Re: Shorten chassis with engine and trans in

He gave a pretty good set of instructions to follow. to add to that when you get all level and on stands take some measurements from reference points on the frame to the floor in a few spots and write them down. When you slide the back half forward that might help you make sure that it is still level along with using the level and tape.

Just cut though the outer layer close to the welds when you cut it apart and then you can slide the back half back and either trim it or just clean things up an then slide it forward inside the frame rails until you get it to the right wheel base.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
