trans cover is done and the inside of the cab is finished, just need to get a better camera so I can actually take pics inside the cab. I got a fender mounted today and this thing is tall! Im thinking of 38 or 42" TSL's.

Well I finished up mounting my 2wd steering box so I can run Crossover when I get the dana 60 front. Its a f100 2wd PS box mounted inside the frame up to a an f250 4x4 shaft. I still have welding and bracing to do on the mount but you get the idea. Also got a pic of the trans cover and interior.

This steering will not be functional until I get the dana 60, because on the LP 44 there is no way to hook up a high steer bracket, it does not have a flat top knuckle.

Here is the steering before:

Got a 4brl manifold from a 428 with a carb from a neighbor. I have not decided If I will run that carb, or a holley truck avenger which I had originally planned to do. Back to stripping the body!

Got everything mocked up except for the hood.(mainly to check for clearance, and to see if the steering box would contact the radiator support)

The passenger inner and outer fender have to come back off for paint, as well as the radiator support. Now I have to find where im going to mount my radiator. In the

You can see where I cut out the inner fender to make room for the steering box/linkage.

Got the front end all buttoned up, with the 69 grille mounted! Im going to with no front bumper or valance, so Ill trim the part that hangs down on the fenders off. Took some pics with a better camera.
