So it looks like you gutted and wired the entire truck from scratch? I was wondering if you kept the original turn signal switch wiring, etc.

There is zero original wiring in the truck.

I measured the room on my white truck the other day. 16.5" from frame rail to the fender lip and I had the chassis guy massage the fenders out about half inch when he did the tubs and all. It would be too tight if you don't have rolled fenders

When you say rolled fenders, do you mean roll to lip up into the fender or are you rolling the entire fender outward?

That is kind of what I figured. That is my route as well, only I will still have the factory turn signal stalk.

Here are some pics of the final brackets welded in. I'm gonna weld on a back strap as well and that will finalize the front suspension mods. What do you think?

Looks good, so does this solve the coil over problems you previously mentioned having with Race Craft Inc?
