Wharfcat, I have an idea what your up against- I purchase a 2002 F350 cc 8’ box rdw just so I could buy a tc. First thing I noticed was the limited clearance. Once I find a tc to buy I will be building or modifying swingouts, but that’s what I do everyday- Union Boilermaker Welder, do you have anyone, Family or Friends nearby that could look at it? I’m not just suggesting you have anyone do it- too many variables. I know when I fabricate mine I’ll more than likely use stainless steel and TIG weld them. Just an idea if you can’t find a factory swing out with comfortable clearance—make sure it’s someone trustworthy though and experienced with fabrication— Best, Glenn
