    I'll just add that the number is on the top of the frame in this location, right where the fender attaches to get body. So, if the fender is still attached, it will be difficult to see the number.

    Quick update. Finally got the Dana 25 buttoned up and filled with gear oil. As best I could figure it took 43 oz of oil to fill it.

    A few other questions, though. I assume that you don't have to worry about the under seat gas tank if you're using a 72 chassis? Seems...
