Hey guys ! Late night can't sleep here ( excited about trip to Oklahoma to get front IFS stock suspension to make progress on my project).

Anyway....I'm working on my 65 C-50 truck project and have been looking for a good 2wd dually frame for a donor for suspension upgrades and ease of parts. I've found a stock ifs dually set-up I'm heading to pick up in the morning. I have a question to ask ....can someone tell me on a Squarebody stock 2wd ifs set-up what is the angle or degree of the crossmember? Or angle of the A-arm ? I'm gonna graft this into a 3x5 box to my frame to get it as low as possible. I'm looking for this setting to keep my alignment stock.

I believe the crossmember mounts to an area of the frame rails that is very flat and level. The angle will be slightly different if the truck has more or less rake to it.
