That would be a retarded amount of work because of the dimples in the frame.

Alright I'm not going to buy any other parts till I get it all under there and see how it fits. If I go with the van box and tie rod behind the axle what is the minimum that I have to move it forward to make it work I can really only move my axle forward about 5 inches without running out of frame?

I had to extend my frame substantially to make the draglink parallel with the axle. About from my winch plate forward is where its extended.

Wow this really brings the gay. What about a 2wd box, and then move the tierod behind the axle so that it does not hit the draglink? Thanks for the info sharpe.
Worse off I have a ford steering box that is tapped that I could prolly use.

Moving the tierod behind the axle is the orginal intent and design of the double ended arms. There could be clearance issues with your engine crossmember though. I dont know for sure, because I have a kustom crossmember.
Putting a Ford box on this thing under some guise of making correcting this situation easier is gayer than cum in a mustache.

I think the crisis has been averted. I talked with Brian today, and he said he moved it about 4". He has the draglink in front of the axle and the tie-rod behind. He is also running the same pitman and 2wd box that I have. I am going to call mad4wd tomorrow and see if I can exchange one of my arms for the double ended style.

glad i could help
This weekend I regeared the front and rear dana 60's to 5.86's, and swapped in the welded carriers. I also did most of the work on the rear 60 to accept the sterling 10.25 35 splines.
Today, I started the transmission crossmember. Hopefully I will get it wrapped up tomorrow. Yes, i am going to gusset the outside of the plate driveshaft hump and cut out the bottom of the square tube.

Sweet pits in that metal. What are you going to do about the exhaust?

Prolly y-pipe it over to the driverside and run a single pipe or run the two pipes next to each other on the driveside since I have alot more room there.Originally Posted by Sharpe

I vote just dump the exhaust in the cab.

Good plan. On Pigpen, my crossover runs right under the dust cover for the trans and Y's into the single 4" which then runs straight out the back. It looks like it hangs down kinda low but it is fairly protected by the front shackles and it was really the only way to run it.

FYI, I just got off the phone with Mad4wd, his customer service is pretty good. These arms were bought/shipped out about 8 months ago and he had no problems, with me shipping the arm I didn't need back and he would simply send me the double ended arm as long as I paid the difference in the double ended vs the single which was about $30 bucks.
His product is top notch, and his customer service is right on par, if you need some hi-steer arms make sure and check him out.

4 or 6 degree shims for the front axle, I thinking 6 degrees.
Also, does anyone know of a company beside diy4x that makes some adjustable front shackle hangers like this that aren't $170 bucks. I just need the bottom part that the springs bolt to. I know I can make some, but would like to buy them to save on fab time.

Also, I assume all sbc motor mounts are the same from year to year, ie 1979 vs 1990? Just wanting to make sure before I order my poly motor mounts.

i am not 100% sure, but i think there is a difference in motor mounts through out the years, it is either that or the first set i ordered were the wrong ones, i would check at a parts store to compare years just to make sure
