Re: 1953 Extended Cab
Set the drivetrain today. Going to have to cut the trans tunnel to be able to slide the cab forward, into position.

Re: 1953 Extended Cab
Thanks. I sold the drivetrain. Now looking for a new one. Going to Goodguys in Charlotte this weekend (will be showing my Mustang). On the lookout for an engine.

Re: 1953 Extended Cab
Hey wizard, do you have a picture of your e brake cables hooked up at the wheels? I have the same cables but I think I'm missing some brackets. Can't find anything on Lokar or SSBC website.
