Like the tranny cover, very original, very cool. It looks like the shifter comes up underneath the dash? or is that just the camera perspective? Planning on some extreme bends on the shifter, or trick linkage? Maybe I missed it in the posts.

so here is a little more work that i got done on the tunnel to get it just right with the tools i have this is what i have done

had to put in a better support for my seat/tunnel mount if i had a sheet metal roller it would have been less steps but then again the driveline goes right through the cab and if i throw a u-joint i don't want to die so i used the half a 3/16" 6" tube and connected it to the floor with flat bar. then i will enclose it all with sheet metal


I started to take all my pictures in black and white because it looks cooler to me? hope no one minds?

this one i was messin around with how the exhaust will look

Yep that shifter is a pretzel. Like the B/W pics - might steal that idea myself.

[VonRatty]

Real update

Looks very good. Makes mine look like a hack-job (possibly for good reason)

 

[ANNAMEL]

Keep up the good work and I am going to redo mine! Looks Great!

 

[VonRatty]

hey thanks guys hope to get some more done this coming weekend but being Easter and all i don't think I'm going to get much time to

 

[VonRatty]

well now that I have got the floor almost done. I just need to do a few fineness things on it. so i have moved on to steering this is what i have so far

its all just tacked on right now i plan on putting some gussets on the bottom that will all come when i tear down to finish welding up the frame and adding some gussets to it. next will be the tie rod and steering push rod. i figured this box should do great being that it was the 2 1/2 ton box off the original truck.

Your truck is shaping up very nicely VonRatty. Good job by you I say!
