dang! all the hooking up lines and auxillary stuff looks like a headache! good progress man!

after spending a week vacationing in Japan, and thousands of dollars, im back to working on the truck. started on the bed today, cut out the inner frame, shortened the sides 9" and notched them for the axle. Now I really have to roll it outside to get the placement pefect.

looking good!

cool COE, how long is it going to end up?

I keep switching things up also, that really eats up time and money but it has to be done the way you want it

yeah, 2013-2015 I didnt really get anything done. was riding motorcycles every day I could.

thanks! getting it done litle by little[;)

the steering column is splined, so I can just move the wheel a tooth over. both tires hit the hairpins anyways, so I'll never be able to go lock to lock.

yes! it's a good feeling to be on the home stretch[cl

took it all apart again, this time to finish welding everything underneath. hopefully its the last time it has to come all the way apart.

body mounts made with channel and flathead motor mount biscuits. ran out of argon. I always run out on saturday morning, now I have to wait until monday to weld...:(

haha cool. I just saw the hammers in the pics and assumed thats what was used. super clean job!

its a long process here, the colorado dmv page outlines the steps for a rebuilders title. before you even start, it needs to be a rolling chassis with steering hooked up, then you can get it inspected. you need to provide receiptss for major parts, wait a year, and then apply for a title once it...

Filled the steering box with john deere cornhead grease, and got the steering support in. now to get a drag link and the steering will be complete.
