Finally got everything installed. It looks great and I am happy.
Here are a few pictures.
Very good quality.
I had to cut the excess stud off the LCA U-joint
All mocked up.
Getting excited at this point.
Getting EXTREMELY excited now!
Hole for steering shaft, which i still need to weld the front lip.
All done!!!!!!
It caught me by surprise when the power steering lines (3 pieces) were 104$ from Napa. (2 pressure hoses and the low pressure fitting)
