Re: Project "Sweet 16"

Well, spent the last 2 evenings building the Cab mount brackets... I went a little different than most. Seems majority use square tube (sometimes 3/16 or 1/4" even)... I decided to make mine out of 14 gauge sheet, and box them in really nicely. That's a total of 20 individual pieces of steel, cut with a air cut off... very slow. I miss my plasma and Craftsman professional compressor from my shop in Colorado!

All finished, except the 2 1/4" holes for the S10 body mounts. Gonna tack them in place, and drill them on the frame I think.

Still on the fence about re-locating the drivetrain, trying to decide if I gain much room for headers, or just lose room for the steering shaft by moving it back.

Here's a couple pics of the brackets.
