Just a short post before I shift gears again. Just placed the seats inside to make sure they were going to work. Wheel/axel placement isn't perfect but not that bad either. While I was at it I fabbed the steering in. Picked up the column shifter at the recycle yard and reworked the shifter box to eliminate the horizontal movement so it would only move vertically up and down. Keeping with the resto look. Steering wheel is really big for power steering but I like it. Needs a lot of repair work though. Also thought that the S10 front torsion might be a good idea so fabbed some mounts to the frame and relocated the holes in the control arms to match the bar.
