    It's a p30 gm ch***is from 1 ton step van,motor home suspension.I had to reverse the steering, pitman arm was on top (original) I had to mount it bottom so had to reverse it with a hub. Cut the crossmember and added almost a foot to get the wheels to set in the wheelwells,alot of gd work.

    Wow a lot of work. I had a 53 3000 series White and thought for months how I would do the steering. I ended up selling it (regretfully) and buying my Chevy COE. You have a better way than I could have done. Can you flip the cab with the sleeper on?

    impossible with the sleeper,and too much weight. Besides I would forget something inside the cab if could tilt it and my luck it would end hittin the windshield.
