Cool thanks for the update Al, I have been watching your thread!
Anyway, finally got the body position nailed.. I ended up mounting about 1 3/4" back from my other thread and guessed on 2.5" back originally so I wasn't too far off.. In the end, given that axles move inwards on 80 series as they are lifted, perhaps I should have perhaps moved it back father maybe a 1/4" or so but a 1/4" is not much and it took so long to get it placed right at the 1 3/4 back so moving back another 1/4 would have thrown everything off for just a 1/4". I am extremely pleased with how it all turned out..
So at this point, I tacked the front mounts on and drilled through the OEM front body mounts... Then did the other side...
