    Drag. It's a 95 s-10. I'm already at .140 so no tech problems there. I'll check again, but I thought min thickness was .134? Either way I should be good.

    Minimum wall thickness is .118 but many people use .134 because mild steel tends to vary in thickness a little. The .134 gives you a little fudge room. As mentioned I would get an SFI book & follow it to the letter. Another good idea is to get in contact with your local Tech & ask questions about any parts of the SFI rules your not sure about. If you get your tech information from the guy that will eventually be slapping a tag on it, you'll save yourself some headaches.
    I owe a big thanks to Techinspector1 & division 3 tech Rich Bowers for walking me through my build.
