I really think you are not getting many replies because many to most of these guys make their own. I bought a McNaughtons (sp?) that was a bolt in. I was going to weld it in but it fit good enough that I just left it.

*Puropedo* · 07-13-2009, 12:33 AM

Prostreet, I like your set up, but I really want to get the truck really low, so what I meant to say was a step notch, thanks for your input.

prostreetC-10 · 07-13-2009, 01:51 PM

I'll say this too. For all that work...I didn't get much extra clearance. I really plan on 4 linking this down the road and I"m going to have to redo it anyway.

Look at the pic you posted again. See how that frame crossmember is perfectly aligned with your axle? I looked at that for a minute and couldn't figure out what I was looking at. Looked like the axle tubes where on the top of the frame and the bags where holding up the axle!!! lol
I was thinking "what the heck is this guy constructing???".

LOL, didnt even notice till you brought it up, the frame is sitting on bags with
a home made mini c notch, I think Im going to go with the kp notch.

Puropedo.... you had me worried when I read the title to this thread and then saw '72 in your post.
