[99 to Life]

Got the actual motor in an mounted, got tranny in. still need to make crossmember for it. Got the cab and front clip off of the original frame. Got the cab, bed, temp front fender on for moch up purposes.

We are about 4" off the frame so far. We have to cut out a hump for the tranny (nv3500) and the drive shaft knuckle is giving us s#@t as well, so we
will have to make a small hump for that. But I don't think it will be bad. It seems the tranny is giving us problems because the motor is mounted a little high, which is actually a good thing. Because it will set higher up in the compartment and will be easier to work on. Although, we just have to re work some floor boards, that is about the biggest issue we have had.

Now I think I might run a short water pump because it is cutting close when we get that radiator on there. I have maybe 2" to the dist and fire wall I think.

Door question, I haven't looked into it too much, but for a 51' which has the pull down handles, they only lock on one side. When you buy a new lock kit, it is for one door only, so is there such thing as a drivers side door lock? Any help would be great. I wanna lock both doors and keep the OG pull down handles.

P.S I posted an inquiry about the section of the dash under the speaker. I guess my cab has that. I thought the dash was different. Nevermind me

all this is still moch up. There is lots of final adjustments to make and cosmetics.
