Yes, I will get to that can of rotten worms soon.

It is the old you have to do this before you can do that story.

To install the Dakota front frame section (many measurements and angles taken from the donor) the existing frame has to be at the desired road height as a fixed reference. The original Mopar body is channelled over the frame and the rocker sills sit below the bottom of the frame (by 2") so to get ground clearance (of 4") at the bottom of the rocker sills, the bottom of the frame should be at 6". (4+2). I hope!

Thanks for the input.
