Nice job, your work is very good. The only concern is the brackets you made for the Rack and Pinion. I would strengthen them by adding a plate on the bottom. This will eliminate the side to side movement that I think you will have now.

Thanks for your concern.
i will try this first, if it bends I am going to throw it over a different angle!
Edit: I see I didn't update my bracket. In the picture outside with the cab on the frame you can see that I welded a bar between the brackets to stiffen it up.

Bed got sand blasted and primed, after that i started the rust repairs
