Rebuilding a fj45 long bed pick-up

[Hoosier 45]

Did you solve the clearance issue? If so, how?

Thanks

No I have not had a chance to work on it. I did look at it yesterday and my plan is to do a small (3/4") body lift and fab an altered linkage. I will do all I can to not cut on the truck. The body is too well intact to hack on.
