You can narrow the width with some geometry refinements to work on the roll center. I narrowed the width of my C6 stuff under my truck to 60" and bought a custom rack from Woodward.

Well you latest project is lookin good, maybe if we both will finish our projects someday. I'm shooting for SEMA.
Thanks for kudos Rodger. I'm very happy with the chassis Jim put together for me. Jim is great to work with. I like the fact that he will work with you on building a custom piece. I'm very impressed with the chassis under your truck. AS far as SEMA...I'm not even going to try at this point. I'm going ot keep plugging away & with a little help I think I'll be done sometime next summer.
