It’s the original mirror bracket and the round mirror from the truck shop but it’s the same as 3 & 1 on image you posted

FWIW The square mirrors are available from O'Reilly ($9) and off Epay (4.99). I needed to add a simple flat 1" extension to the Pass side arm to run them Horizontally.

Just finished reading your build... really, really like what you did. I have a stock '49 that I'd like to take in this direction. There are a LOT of options on how to build these trucks! I'm kinda leaning toward the stock frame, Mustang 2, rear leafs like yours. Can I ask a couple questions?

- what hanging pedals and master cylinder setup is that?
- what rear leafs are you using?

Thanks very much!! The rear leafs are Total Cost Invloved, as far as the pedal setup, I’m not sure, It’s a very long story on how I acquired the pedals, but long story short, I have had them for a while sitting and collecting dust and took a gamble to see if they would even work and they do.

Haven't been on here for four years, but I'm glad I revisited today. Enjoyed your build very much. You have a tremendous amount of energy and stamina to put this together in the time frame. You will never starve. Keep on building!

I spent some time today to make cup holders. I wanted to do something that I have ever seen before.. I bought some oil nos ac delco oil filters, gutted them and turned them into cup holders. I also want to make it so I can take them out of the truck to clean or, just get out of the way if I wanted to lay on the floor to work under the dash... so I made it so they can be removed in seconds without any tools. The pictures do make them look nearly as good as they do in person to the point where I almost didn’t want to share but I’ll post them anyway.

Nice, even turned my laptop on its side to take a good look. Sideways and upside down pics seem the norm on this site so no big deal.

Not sure man. Had a lot go wrong all at once. Motor and trans leak, stumbling/dying. Spent a lot of time earlier this year trying to figure it out but to no avail.

No, it’s a 350/350 combo.
