you are seeing the rears wider than the front... by a whole 2 inches.

Rears are 17x10 and the fronts are 17x8

please look in the lower right hand corner of this picture.... it is mounted on the fender using a FBody PCM mount. As I said in a previous post I wanted it to look like a mini silverado... all the way down to the wiring.

Thanks man...I didn't realize you welded the borgeson shaft to anything. I was thinking of using one of Borgeson's telescoping shafts and a ujoint on each end.

You wont have the room... the upper ujoint will be right in the way of the header primary that you are trying to avoid.

Yup sure did. Might as well if you have the proper tools to get the job done. I don't like the finish out look of the kwikperformance brackets they don't look very factory so thats why I steered clear of them.
