How about this?

palposity · 10-21-2010, 11:15 AM

Hi Ray! That helps a lot. I'm definitely looking for the brace that is from the frame to the crossmember. I see what you mean now about the one that is frame to spring perch, but I do not need the tank to spring perch brace at all.

Frame to Crossmember it is please! Thanks!

palposity · 10-22-2010, 11:13 AM

Thought I would take a few minutes to snap a couple of pics of my barn. Littered with square parts!

palposity · 10-22-2010, 11:15 AM

And my pest control service... (she is extremely effective)

Sarge261 · 10-22-2010, 01:07 PM

Where'd you find all those clean squares in NY?

I havent forgotten about your connector, I have been busy at the shop and havent had a chance to get a shot of it.

palposity · 10-22-2010, 01:11 PM

Didn't find them clean - Had to MAKE them clean

No problem on the sensor. I am ready when you are sir!

palposity · 10-22-2010, 10:25 PM

Painted up my motor mounts and tailgate support brackets tonight. Tomorrow morning I am dropping the drive train in. I'm hoping to have the cab mounted by end of day tomorrow!

palposity · 10-22-2010, 10:26 PM

Ooops...forgot this pic of the stuff I blasted and painted....

Nothing like clean parts to make you excited about building a truck!

*Stitch* · 10-22-2010, 10:27 PM

looks good buddy...hope everything goes smoothly for ya tomorrow...

menace121978 · 10-22-2010, 10:31 PM

right on brother!! i love the end results after sandblasting. nice texture and paint covers and sticks beautifully

palposity · 10-23-2010, 08:08 AM

Thanks guys. I'm lookin' forward to getting this puppy put back together and on the road! I can't wait! We got our first few snowflakes yesterday. Thankfully they didn't stick to the ground yet, but it's a good reminder of what lies ahead!

palposity · 10-23-2010, 09:27 PM

This morning I started on getting the drive train mounted. I ran into a little snag with the tranny because I didn't have the TC seated properly. Thanks to those who set me straight on the other thread I posted. Here are some pics!

palposity · 10-23-2010, 09:29 PM

And since I was having so much fun working on the truck I decided to go ahead and mount the cab!!!!!! Thank God! Now this project is really getting rolling!!!

menace121978 · 10-23-2010, 10:54 PM

WOW!!! AWESOME progress buddy!!!

looking like a truck again!! i know you ended the day with a big ol grin on your mug

*Stitch* · 10-23-2010, 11:01 PM

That looks great man. Just great. It's gonna look awesome when you get rest of the body mounted up. And the interior

. I really like how well it's coming together. Good job 'bud' lol

Thanks guys, Yes...yesterday was a big day. Now - with the cab on there is a whole new dimension to the project - wiring, core support wiring, the body starts to take shape, and you hit it Dennis - It starts to look like a truck again!

I had forgotten how high this thing sits. I almost need a step ladder to climb in!

palposity · 10-26-2010, 08:10 AM

I'm getting ready to bolt on my accessories on the engine, but thought I would paint them up pretty first. I also decided to do the same with the brake booster. Also, I bought a tilt column from another member earlier this year, but never got around to opening the box...until last night. One issue...the tilt column is equipped with cruise control, but my truck has no cruise. Do any of you guys know if that will be a problem for me?

menace121978 · 10-26-2010, 08:14 AM

cruise wont be a problem... its just a 4 wire connector that is separate from everything else. it a small flat connector that is usually hanging from the bottom of the column.

Awesome! Good to know. Other than that the turn signal/wiper controls are the same. I haven't examined the connectors on the column yet to see if they are the same on the tilt and the old column. If they are then I should be in business!

menace121978 · 10-26-2010, 08:23 AM

i don't know Charlie... you will have to take a look. i didn't realize the wipers were on the switch also
