    I had to narrow the rear for my 36 Chevy truck for multiple reasons. I was real lucky because the factory rails were literally angled all the way to the end of the bed from the front. I figured out where I could chop the frame off so that I could mount frame rails that would carry straight back (welded inside the existing rails...that way I could have multiple places to weld and gusset), which gave me the desired width for the tires. Ummm....I'll have to read your post again. Why are you using 2X6? Maybe I'm miss-reading but I felt like I was going over board with my 2X4 .120 wall tubing. Forgive me now.....I have a terrible attention span. My mind is an ever changing whirlwind. I'll subscribe to the thread so I can check it later.
