Thanx Spanky I may have taken us off subject a little but think it may be of some help on the axle issue for those who chose to go that way.
Anyway if there is some one who may have a good set of 8,000 or 10,000 series fenders and running boards especially if they may want to trade a set of 6,000 fenders for them please let me know or I will have too get creative with the tig and some sheet metal.
