We also use the lower link mount for the 4 link that is in the chassis. Plus the front crossmember tabs through the inside and out plate of the frame rail.

You guys should build a Tri-5 with one of these chassis's. Tracy was talking about getting one to see what the dream weaver could do in an upholstry shop.
I'm building a 57 right now, but the customer's budget didn't allow for an aftermarket chassis. But I'm far from a garage guy if I bought one it would go one the chassis table and get welded down before we burnt it in.
