Haven't had much time to work on the truck recently...but was able to finish up a couple things in the last week.
Starting out, got the steering attached from the cross member swap. Idler arm drilled and attached. Steering box attached, frame boxed, and crush sleeves between the box and frame. Still need to drill out the other two holes though.
Welded up some motor mounts and got a trans universal poly mount. Trans is bolted in and has room for adjustment. motor is centered and clamped in place for the time being..the trailer I have to use to get the body to my house is being borrowed at the moment so getting that on the frame is the next step to make sure everything clears well.
Put the motor and trans in to make sure I cleared everything okay...
Going to need to modify the stock passenger manifold because the egr flange impacts the frame side motor bracket.
In the mean time I got the brake lines roughed in. Rear axle brake line is done all other lines are routed just waiting for brake line clips and the cab for final mouthing positions.
Here's a couple pics.
Waiting on a mild c notch, poly motor isolators, and shoes and wheel cylinders to rebuild rear drums.
