No I made the front brackets with a bottom plate on the seat pan that is slanted and then rectangle steel came through that where the seats used to be and then i built and welded a box around that with a flat top.I welded and bolted those in and then ran a long thick bolt down through bracket into the carriers normal holding spot and put a plate on the bottom of that and nutted the bolt there.
As for the rear I used angle iron to strengthen the sub frame and put a plate on the top kinda encompassing the three sides of the sub frame for about 10" or so. Then i ran a bolt down through the normal holding spot and put a plate on the bottom and nutted it.
The rear suspension lined itself up once i connected the Alltrac strut to the Alltrac nuckle and put the drive line and shafts in .The pumpkin carrier only really wanted be in one spot once all was connected. So we beat the tunnel up a bit and bolted and welded the original carrier bearing brackets in place and hung the driveline. Where i purchased my driveline and rear end system from kindly went back out to the car in the junk yard and cut out the floor pan from the middle of the car so i could have the carrier barckets . Which we pealed layer by layer until we had just the bracket itself not three or four layers of car. Then for more strength i put a T frame of rectangular steel going from side to side to rear. Then covered it up wit a piece of stainless steel.
Hope that helps . I will add some pics of the front brackets on my site. Luckily or skilled some how I came out with a perfect alignment.
