Well you can't go forward any for the angled gusset on the cross member just in front of the park brake bar and there is a cross member just to the rear. I have thought about angling forward to match the gusset it might add a gal or two but that would not look to original to the more stock guys. I have been looking at this for over a good year now any thoughts you might have I'll be glad to hear (or even read).
