A few pics of the two piece drive line. We used the factory G8 front drive line into a carrier bearing.

Very nice. I'm kind of surprised at the amount of rust, though, given that you're in NM.

The drip rail, dash, and floors were all really good on this one. I think these trucks get rust in the cab corners, rockers, and corner of the doors even if they were kept inside all their life.

Body work continues.......I had forgotten how miserable of a job this is. I have a lot of respect for anyone that can do this for a living.

Terrible picture, but one door is ready for final blocking.

Re: '68 c10 build

Well, I've been out of town for the last couple of weeks so not much progress.

However, early in December I ordered an accessory drive kit from Holley to move the alternator, power steering, and ac compressor to the top of the motor to help with clearance issues on the frame. After more than a month, the parts are still back-ordered. Instead of waiting indefinitely, we went ahead and clearanced the frame a little to make room for the belt and trimmed the front of the Dirty Dingo Slider to clear the alternator. This way we will be able to keep the alternator and p/s down low and out of the way. Looks much better if you ask me.
