ran into a problem with the fact that I supplied an old smlblk and t 350 to the chassis builder and then built this 283 and had another t350 recond but didn't realize there was a short shaft and long shaft so of course the chassis crossmember suits the short and I spent my money on a long shaft - bugga.
thinking of either cutting the whole top pipe out and rebending a new one or cutting out the centre bit of the pipe and welding in a curved piece of 50 x 6 mm flat bar - decisions , decisions ?
