The fabricated piece to get her running was the clutch rod. I had to add about 5.5 inches to it. I also had to build my own radiator support bracket.
The bed front sits on the 53 frame and the rear of the bed just needed a block and drill holes. I didn't quite put enough block in and I will likely change that someday so it looks more level front to rear. It really is level now but doesn't look like it.
Feel free to browse around in other albums on photobucket, I took hundreds of pictures. | | |
