    well body is on, im going to have to cut a channel into the storage " tube". otherwise the bed and cab would sit too tall for my liking. oddly enough this body fits pretty well.

    I had the same issue but when I moved my body brackets up (cut and weld) and used the original Dodge body rubber/mounts (which are about 3” thick) it leveled the cab up. I then put some 1” thick rubber spacers under the bed (ordered online) and now mine is the exact height/relationship between bed/cab as it was on the old frame without cutting the storage space. PM me if you have questions.

    i fabbed up the hydro-boost and shortened the push rod to mount to the stock location on the stock kaiser pedal, pretty straightforward and easy.

    clutch master install was very much the same process, mock up and weld the stock linkage onto the new clutch master cylinder. it all fits good and the dodge hoses tuck in nicely
