Hello all,

John, looks great.  When you mention the original trucks can't be used does that mean they can't be used with the original coupler cut off?  Or is the original truck so long that it would hit the steps?

Thank you,
Bobster

Yes the OEM truck frames will impact the steps.  I suppose you could offset the pin closer to the steps so the swing isn't as much, but I doubt it.  Here is a pic of my Stillwell steps in there...
