I decided to go with Rams Horn exhaust manifolds, they look pretty good as far as frame clearance goes. I will need to do some work on spark plug wire routing. Next up is determining the steering - move the original out to clear the exhaust or convert to a newer power steering gear box.
I painted the underside of the dash and the interior firewall area. Not pretty but it will eventually be covered with sound adsorbing material so not a concern.
Installed the pedal assembly with the brake booster/master cylinder and the clutch master cylinder.
I need to keep working on the cab to get any painting/priming work done before cold weather sets in.
Ordered the parts for the 14-bolt axle conversion also.
I am hoping to have the cab primed, steering resolved, and rear axle swap completed before I relocate the chassis to the unheated back shed for the winter.
