Re: 47 Step van

It has been a while since I posted. I have busy with this truck and my 1996 lowered dually. The dually is going to be my daily driver when I get all the bugs out. Well back to the box truck, I made a new dash. It is longer than the factory one that way I could get the air ride stuff in. I then made a 1x1 box tube structure for the upper steering column mount. I then shortened up the connecting rod to fit. I then fit the new dash. After that, I began to work on the drivers inner wheel well. I had to cut a bunch of it out when I put the clear steer box in. I also had to gain some room for the brake pedal too. I made a new front panel and riveted in. I also made a new side cover too, it is removable. I used those nuts that have a clip on them that slide over the sheet metal. It makes it great if you have to get into the side of the motor and brakes. I then pulled everything back apart and primed and painted it. Now I can put it all back together for good now.
