Thanks Wheelie. I like the wheels on your truck!

Progress has been slow. House stuff, Wifes car stuff.

Got some engine cradles so I could get some of the engines off of the tires in the engine shed. Takes up less space and I can move them around easier.

Finalized a design for the engine mounts and made some patterns and transfered onto some steel plate. Once the engine mounts are finished I can start on the transmission mount.

I am going with a muncie for a while, but I am going to mock up a mount for a 700 R4 or similar automatic trans while the cab is off. That way I will only have drive line length to mess with when I change to automatic.

Caught something that had me down for a few weeks, but I'm feeling much better now. Ready to get back on it and make some progress.
