Back half kit question

I'm getting my back half kit soon and was wondering if anyone had a picture of how you connected it to the frame. Its a 2x3 four link kit with a cross member and nothing coming out the front. Thanks in advance.
 
Most of the time you cut the frame off right behind the cab Blake. The front part of the backhalf will butt right up to the frame where you cut it. When you get your backhalf give me a call, it's not real hard to do. Measure 12 times and cut once $.02 Gary
 
I notched the frame, so I could have more weld area, then will plate it in once the cage is all there.
 
Make sure you go with the thick wall CE kit if you get it. I run the thin wall and it flexes pretty good. I added some bracing and it seems to be better. Definitely measure 12 times and cut once. I ended up getting mine in the s10 within 1/16 of square over the entire body and it launches straight every time.

Do you know the wall size of the kit you have? I didn't know that they have different thickness.
