As suggested I pulled the stake pocket and rear cap apart for the drivers side. The drivers side had some damage so pulling it apart had the added benefit of letting me straighten out the cap. I got the drivers side shortened up but haven't finished welding and stuff because I have to spend the time shimming and aligning all the body panels before I totally commit.

I had to loose the braces that attach above the wheel arches because of tire clearance so now the drivers box side isn't as straight as I would like. I guess I'll have to design some other kind of brace to try to remedy that.

And then because the 96 Camaro already donated it's transmission to this truck I figured I'd see if the steering rack would be usable as well. Still some figuring to do but it looks like I might be able to shorten the inner tie rod ends and flip the outers to the underside of the steering arms it might work. I'm on the search for some disk brake spindles that I can use to mock up the steering.
