its a weird fit cause the frame isnt straight. it has that hump over the axle. not done to perfection, i was gettin ready to quit the shop i was in so i cut some corners to get it done. but its made for a short bed truck.didn't know if you planned on puttin it on that awesome truck on your profile pic.

The truck in my profile pic won't change much, I like it how it is.

But I was curious because I'm about to buy a 77 f250 4x4 Longbed and use it for a farm truck. The flatbed would be handy on it.
