    no i managed to get the steering box and everything in there.....i had to make some headers though for it to fit in there....no major mods where done...just a bracket....i lowered the truck and i know the tires will make or break this truck....i really need to get the right size....i want the tire to have a lower profile but still fill the fender and still look vintage...im just trying to get this right....i also want to run maybe a little smaller in the front than the rear...
