I like the stock cab height. Looks proportional to the SWB, and hood and bed heights. Just my opinion. What ever you do is going to look amazing. The truck is unbelievable now!! I have been waiting to see the fenders and bed on it. Looks as good as I imagined. :thup: :D

As heavy duty as our inner fenders are, it shouldn't be to hard to do a front flip hood.

why do you need f600 hinges? obviously your not using the aprons, but can you not use normal f100 hinges? hey, you didnt possibly get those measurements and all did you? dont you think it would be alright to use stock arms and all that if i were to build the crossmember? also, since im bagging it, do I NEED to make hats for the upper arms to mount to, or did you just make a mount on top of the frame?

OK, this isn't the best picture but hopefully you can get an idea how the hinges mount. Look at the pasenger side hinge and you can see how it mounts to the cowl. Hope this helps. Might be an ideal set up for you marz.

I was told that f600 hinges mount on the fire wall and not on the inner fenders wich I don't have any more so they might work on my truck.
Sorry layedout72 but I had to go do a side job on my bosses truck after work so I didn't have time to got those measurement, but I will get them for you tonight.
