You are correct. I did and when I made the "crate" to move the body to the blaster I set all for "platforms" at the same height as the stock mounts.

I know I'm going to take a thrashing for using wood but it was all I had handy and it worked! Lmao!

Hey no thrashing about using wood!!! Just glad you braced it!!! I braced mine with angle iron and built a wood frame on a HF trailer, to move it around!!!%)%)

I gotta take a ferry then drive about three hours on the highway to the blaster and body guy. I figured I needed to bolt it down and brace it as good as possible. I got about two hours of little things to do to the tub then I can get it dropped off.

Need to break out the plasma cutter and get rid of the shock mounts etc. I'm going with epoxy primer with a urethane topcoat. I was going to powder coat but I want to be able to touch up as needed.

Yes sir, I only had to move mine 12-15 miles at a time. Agree with you on the paint vs pc on the frame. If you look close on the pic I posted you can see the 10" I put in it behind the door!!;D;D

Got lots of help from a good number of people. Was able to upgrade to 35 spline and a nodular rear unit. The build is getting better with your help! Thanks again!
