Happy new years to everyone!

99 to life, haha, thank you.

Oldman3, thank you. I can not wait to do the filler and paint work on the hood and get it on.

48 GMC BURB, sure it can , just a little more cutting.


Went into work yesterday morning so I could use the lathe and mill. Turned up the ex universal joint. Then turned up a tube to press both ends into. One end is 3/4 30 spline and 3/4 36 spline. They did not make a coupling, so I made one. I am using a clear steer offset box. It is 14 inches from offset to offset. Worked like a dream. I had to make up a bracket to bolt to the frame and the radiator support so it is nice a strong. While a work I also turned up some split bushing for the upper and lower column supports. Ken liked the connecting rod one on the 51 so I am doing another one for this truck. I have to make the upper dash support yet and then I will mount the connecting rod to it.
