Hi Evan! I’ve paused for a few months to finish a few home remodel projects which we were waiting for materials to arrive.
You are correct. I will be cutting the frame at an angle.I've usually heard that it is recomended to split the frame at a 45° on the length of the frame, but I'm sure someone with more experience can give some advice. @Godfather90 may know.
Really liking where this build is going !That is enough for one weekend. The left axle shaft is about two weeks out so I am on to other projects.

Hi there and thank you! Yes, I set my Cs at 3-4 degrees positive caster.Really liking where this build is going !
Just curious, did you just weld the C on in the original orientation or was there some caster added.
@Broski , I should also mention that I set my front differential, and the rear for that matter, at around 12 degrees upwards from center. I achieved this temporary in the front with shims on the cast leaf spring mount and by relocating the left mount. I will do a 4-link eventually and my Cs are relocated to accommodate the extra angle.Hi there and thank you! Yes, I set my Cs at 3-4 degrees positive caster.
Thanks for the tip. Just to confirm, did you see that I have a piece of 1/4” angle under the gussets, which is on top of the factory mount? I thought what I did was already overkillYou'll want to box those perches in.
Yes, I'd still box them in. Mainly to have a clean surface that doesn't trap mud and dirt, but reinforcing the open triangle is something you won't regret.Thanks for the tip.

Do you still think that I need to box it in? Perhaps there is something else that I’ve missed.
