Wayne,
Contact Classic Trucks magazine and ask for one the
back issues that described the installation of the
RB's kit. There was a very small amount of welding
required. The used this system on the Classic Trucks
Hi Tech Hauler project truck. If I ever get to build
a custom AD truck this kit is on the top of my list
for IFS.
Good Luck,
Byron
