Looking for 9" advice

Small update...Things are going a lot slower than I would like. My third member came in, I had a driveline made, mounted the fuel cell, and fuel pump. I found a good deal on a short box, and gutted it. I got the rear frame cut down and a crossmember made to mount to the bed. Now I'm working on finding a good spot for the batteries. Does anybody know if the Strange Nod housing has to be painted? It feels like it may have a coating on it already.

That's a killer build! FWIW, my Strange pro-iron case rusted the first time it saw humidity. If you want it to stay pretty, plan on painting it.
 
Thanks for the kind words everybody.

I don't remember off the top of my head. Its S&W's 28" wide rear frame package with back braced 9" housing. I'll see if I can get a measurement for you tomorrow.
 
I'd appreciate that! I have a narrowed backbraced 9"/ alston ladder bar rear that I'm hoping to use in the future.

The axle is 38 1/2" wide from flange to flange. The Frame is 28" outside to outside. The system is made for a 14" wheel with 4" backspace.

Worked on some plumbing today.
