@2old2fast I have made some progress. The bed is finished, the radiator is mounted, the left header is done. The front suspension, steering box and steering linkage is done, with the panhard bar. So I have made a little progress. I have to take the cab off now to cut an ear off the left side of the trans case, so the steering column can line up. I have about all the parts, just need time and energy.

 

[2old2fast]

I got the time , can't help w/the energy ...

That looks professional.The counterbored holes and some nice stainless steel socket head cap screws will finish them off nicely.

These are stainless...what's my other options with a tapered head?

 

[cooter]

I used a counter sink, so these are not flat bottom holes.

Need flat socked head cap screws S/S, 5/16x18x3/4.… I'll buy some more and take these back..
