56's, but the shackle hangers are in the 52" spot, and reversed side to side

Good eye.
That's how mine were but that extra inch in the spring had the shackle angle a little too flat loaded. @Deuling had to move his back with the 57's as well.
Onto the next thing....

I feel ya. Sometimes it's t just time to move on.
Fuel tank is in
Looks good, can't wait to see what you do with the filler neck.
Thanks. Tentative plan is to use a 90 and flip it vertical on the inside of the bed. Probably use some sort of marine style screw on gas lid.
Do you have a filler picked out?
Not really, have some bookmarked though.
Not true, he left his brackets in the same location . . . and then welded another bushing sleeve on
If I do a K5/burb tank, the fill will go behind the tail light.

Technically you are correct, how could I forget?
I saw a build on another board with that feature, very cool.
Yeah I don't remember where I saw it but when I did I thought it was perfect.
I should also mention, it's amazing how much rigity has been added with the crossmembers and small amount of boxing that's been added.

What's your gas tank, rear end clearance looking like?
This is good to know. I didn't have my frame rails perfectly parallel when I tightened my engine crossmember down and it threw it all out of whack. Flimsy frame...
Doesn't take much to throw it out of wack, lots of measuring and supporting before burning crossmembers in. Next up is the front crossmember, I need to remove the OE one and weld in the 2x4 with some gussets.
The diy4x frame boxing kit has been taunting me but I think my plasma cutter and some inexpensive plate is going to win the battle.
