Finished up the dash intrusion tubes aka the "A" in the windshield. Also added an additional tie in for the rear C pillar to the leaf spring hanger. The rear C pillar tube runs across the back and bolts to the 2 rear most body bolts so these outer tubes are just an additional point of contact...
Update: I got the dash tube fitted in and all 4 tie ins from the existing engine cage to the dash tube. This ended up being a royal pain in the ass. The center tubes are sleeve with slugs so those where pretty strait forward. The outer edge tubes ended up getting but welded into the engine...
I had to grind out the stub shaft coming out of the 3rd for the U joints not to bind like you said. So far no issues. Is the Dana 50 stub a direct swap? Doesn't use a different spline or 3rd member seal?
I was cycling 18" with a 14" stroke but had axle binding on the passenger side axle pocket and I didn't want to grind out any more of the beam so its strapped up at 17"
Daily Update: Finished the rear window lacing, C-pillar side gussets and lower door bar tubes. Waiting on seats from PRP to start setting seat mounts up. This weekend I'll work on the dash tube and tying into the existing engine cage.
So the V in the back window still needs another tube that will go down to the C pillar junction going to the frame. I just haven't put it in yet. B pillar lands directly on the side of the frame in the middle of the front leaf spring mount.
