Love seeing new parts go on! Could I ask a favor, if your tow hooks are bolted to factory spec holes, could I get a close up pic of the tip of the hook where it is closest to the leaf perch? I need to drill my holes, I have measurements from someone on the board but the tip of the hooks seem too close to the leaf perches, would like to make sure before I drill the holes, thanks!

My frame already had holes drilled, and i got the hooks off ebay. I wasn't sure how to mount them at first, but i figured that the open part of the hook faces inward so you can pull with it. The drivers side one is about a hair away from hitting the spring perch, and the right side is about 1/8" away. Seems a little funky to me, but if youre drilling your holes, i would move them maybe 1/4" forward on the frame horn, just to buy some extra room. Will try to get pics tomorrow for you

Heres the tow hook pics, kinda hard to get good measurements. Dont mind the dust and spots i missed with POR... They arent tightened yet, but the left one will have about 1/8" clearance when tight.

So I'm sitting here with nothing to do and just surfin around and I see your build. Start looking through, which is coming along great by the way, and I come across the pic of your truck with cab in tow on the ferry. It caught my eye and then I realized "Hey that's my old cab!" I pulled that cab off years ago, stripped it, and had it in my garage until a couple of years ago. I sold it to someone in CT who bought other stuff as well. I hope he gave you the build sheet that I gave him. My kids are getting a kick out of seeing it on the internet. Glad to see it being fixed and put to use, especially on a 4 wheel drive frame. I have the doors and the rest of cab items still. Just too weird I had to write something. Build is looking good. Keep up the great work.

That's so cool! He didn't give me the build sheet with it unfortunately, he didn't seem too organized if you know what I mean. I also got a pair of orange doors, a tailgate, and a rear slider from him, is any of that yours? I'd love to know all about the cab, like where you got it from etc. Any pictures you might
have of it would be really neat to see too. I seem to remember him telling me it came from AZ or something, but I kinda had a feeling I was getting BS'ed
