Truck has an updated rear end (GM style with a 10 bolt cover) and a independent front suspension partially installed. I don't know what it is yet, It has a Manual rack and pinion. Wheels are 5 lug Chevy S 10 I think 5 on 4 3/4"
Nothing is bolted to the frame at this point.
First step is to bolt the cab down at the stock height and see how well I can get everything to fit. I read that the 40 cab is 2" shorter, so I want to see if it all fits.
I also need to see what the wheelbase is as it sits

looks like a factory mustang II suspension, from an actual 74-78 mustang II.
the 40 cab is the same as 41-46, even the windshield and gauges interchange.
looks like an outstanding start
