Hey Studebaker my mother found this in the woods near her home in Ala. If your truck turns out good, and it should, i might have to pull this one home.
i chopped off 2 feet of frame in the front and put a manual rack in for steering, the only thing is i dont know how to connect the tie rods together cuase there different sizes and the same right handed thread
there was no side skirt in front of the door, so i had to make one, there was a little piece of hood that came with it so i welded it to the cam to extend it out a bit
i decided the frame was to long so i chopped out 12 inches in the front of were the cab mounts, i set up the motor 14" back from stock and lowered it in the frame

Connecting the rod ends together isnt that hard. The way I did mine was to measure the distance you need, allowing a couple of inches to thread up on the rod end and ball joint. Have a machine shop bore and thread a sleeve to your measurements that will screw onto the rack rod end and tread the other end to receive you ball joint. Heres a couple of pics picture that might help you understand what I am saying. After I got mine together I welded the sleeve to the rack rod and the adjustments are made from the ball joint.
Hope this helps.
Good luck
