I am jumping around a bit...im just trying to get all my facts straight and not go off and buy this and that waste time. I'm trying to get an idea together before I start tearing this apart and getting myself in a hole. I'm bad about that...research a whole lot and try to have a rough plan together. I've never had a project this old before. Last thing I want is to tear this truck all apart and get stuck on stuff I could have tried to plan already, doesn't mean I'm gonna buy everything now though. Trying to plan stages..
For example, I did not know steering column and gear box was one unit. Now I wonder about what swap to do or if I should cut and try and put u joints in...
I don't mind fabricating and some of the thoughts and suggestions are very helpful.
