Thanks for the continued interest, Bill I didn't realize until you asked the question but the receiver with the shackle can be flipped 180 degrees and that get you 3" more ground clearance for a total of 10".
even still if needed I would most likely have to run the front wheels up on blocks to get clearance. I've had to do the same thing with the Pantera loading it on ramp trucks.

Now on to progress. I finished the interior. First, I covered everything with sound matt even the ceiling. Then I glued light gray foam backed suede like material to it. From there I made panels out of FRP (fiber glass reinforced panel) and covered it with the same vinyl I used for the conceal and door panels. Then I tucked all the headliner ends under the perimeter and screwed the panels over it. I'm happy with the way it turned out. Then I made panels for the sides that cover the transition between cabs and used a single piece of vinyl to cover the upper dash that I padded with 1/2" dense foam.

Next, I needed a glove box, and I didn't want to go back to the cardboard ones so I fabed one out of some scrap 18 ga sheet metal I had left from the bed sides. Then I covered the inside with vinyl and installed it.

While I was making up the glove box I also bent up a cover for the winch to it from getting wet and dirty.

By the way Videos are coming. My wife shot some yesterday and I will get them posted as soon as I finish the saga.

Thanks
