So, everything is on hold at the moment.
I just received information that the back end Towing hardware on my Chassis is NOT a Ford setup.
Supposedly its a Chevy FGT setup.

Which is funny because I just photographed a Chevy Gun Tractor with something entirely different.
(see the attached photo)

I'm not arguing...I'm no expert...thats why I ask for help.
But I'm hoping I will receive some more information (photos) to help me decide what to do.

Redesigning the kit (and model) is not a problem.
Rebuilding this prototype is.
I am able to cut off some parts...some times...
but there might be too much to modify, and as a result, might require building a whole new Frame.

Which, at this point, I really don't want to do.

But, I never release a kit without at least one attempt to build what is in it.
So if I change something like this, I'll have to test build it.

Sometimes there are interchangeable parts...was this set-up ever used on a Ford?
...if so, I am good to leave it in place.
But if its definitely a Chevy specific set-up, then it will have to be changed.
The axles and engine in this FGT are definitely Ford type.
