Once I get my torsion kit which should be later today or tomorrow, we can start cracking on the front. We can get cracking on it. But in the mean time I been tinkering around on it.
The wheels need maybe 1/4" clearance on each side to clear the bed sides, I am deciding whether I can justify rolling the bedsides that much or forking on $300 to narrow it.

That frame is looking awesome. Id say roll the bedsides for that little bit of clearance you need.

yeah i agree roll the bedsides. no point in throwing that much out for just a 1/4 inch

I'm going to try to roll it just a tad and if it doesn't give me enough clearance that I'm comfortable with then I'll just narrow it. Thanks for the comments guys I appreciate it, feels damn good to be working on this thing again. Even the old lady is stoked about it.

Ended up making more progress today and finally answered a lot of curious questions. Turns out my booster is not going to hit after all, my clutch reservoir will but that's no biggie.
Also turns out I will just be able to roll my bedside that 1/4" with it layed out the tires don't touch. But it's at the point to were if the ass end were to shake it would rub.
Really just a random shot of the control arms, almost certain my tubular control arms are not going to work. But I will confirm this later.
Going to tub it big anyways that way there's no worries about any rubbage. Maybe a 22 in the future.
Truck is currently about 1/4-1/2" from laying out, and thankfully this bad boy is the only thing going to hit. WHEW!
So overall a very great day, I am very pleased with how the progress is rolling and answering all the lost questions I been having since buying the 20s and what not.

There were built exactly like the stock arm just 1/2" shorter, But I have yet to confirm 100% if they wont work, But I can already see it putting the balljoints in a nasty bind.
