Re: Farmers big block
Great build!! The pickup is looking good. I have a question regarding your steering setup.
I am using 72 suspension on my 63 C10. When I went to mount the steering cross link, I realized the bracket that holds the idler arm to the frame is completely different between the two and there are no provisions for the 72 mount on the 63 frame. I cant think of a way to properly locate it to make new holes. How did you tackle this if at all? Thanks. |

Re: Farmers big block
Nice build ,got a question about your Buddy Console . Can you give more pics and details on how you mounted the radio and how you plan to route the wiring ? What you have done is exactly what I want to do with mine .
Thanks John |

Re: Farmers big block
The truck is at the upholster, which he's doing a great job should have it back in the next few weeks. I'm working on the wood bought maple, a frieind he's a great wood worker and teaches a nite class at the local high school. So I decided to join the class to use the equipment and his skills (alot of fun). Got the boards roughed out and started making sample peices using walnut and purple heart as inlay's. I have a few more ideas to try out .

Re: Farmers big block
Your interior cam out great, it is similar to what I have drawn up for my own. Are the seats old buckets or something newer?
