Got it! Thanks for mentioning the Mcgowen website. They do list a blued chrome moly 22" "Savage Sporter" as a pre-fit option, so that's on my "A List" right now. I've also responded to a couple of leads on factory take-offs in the Classifieds here, but I may be too late on those. One way or another, this project start is coming together. Thanks for the help!
