Everything is just tacked together right now incase I need to make changes. Installed ported PSC steering box and brace. Pitman arm and drag link parts are on order. Need to get accessory drive on motor and a/c box installed to start on shock mounts.
Decided to use my original core support as I will be cutting a cold air intake through it. Took to body shop and pounded the damage out. Still need to clean and paint. Pleased with the progress. Working tomorrow so will not get back to it until next week.

I’m hoping I didn’t go to short on my links I’m 26 in overall. I’ve been talking to ord and mounted the frame link mount at the body mount.
It’s pretty funny how similar our builds are. The trucks even started life off from the same area of the country with the same color and very close in factory options.
