Here's what I ended up with.

 

[dmw56]

Engine is mounted on the frame.

 

[dmw56]

First picture is no weight. Second is engine and transmission weight. It sets it down pretty good.
I will have to put one more leaf back in and notch the frame at the crossmember.

 

[dmw56]

Put the cab and bed back on. Cab and bed are channeled 4". Everything lines up pretty good.

 

[earthman]

Satisfying to get to this point knowing now that the big stuff is going to fit and look good.

 

[dmw56]

I added 2 leafs to the front and notched the frame. Much better! Thing don't hit now.

 

[dmw56]

Set the caster at 8° back and pinion angle at 3° up.
I put the radius rod mounts inside the frame to gain a little turning radius.

 

[dmw56]

Solved my oil filter clearance problem. I replaced the canister filter with a later spin on filter.

I can't think of one application where the canister filter is better than a spin-on. Keep on tinkering.

Got the panhard bar in this morning. Then I went fishing!

 

[dmw56]

Now to put this collection of parts together.

 

[Old Iron]

Nice pan sized cat.

 

[dmw56]

Nice pan sized cat.

Caught 3 about that size. Tasty!

 

[Old Iron]

Mmmmm

Never knew about that lake. Was it manmade?
