Thank you!

I was you also saved me $200...I didn't know that the T-case support column could be machined and reused for the 4L60. Glad I read your thread over again.

I didn't find any detail's on the step bars, what year and model were they manufactured for and did you modify the mount brackets?

How are you liking the AC....

Sorry for the late reply. The step bars are made by Aries - "204036-2 Aries". They are designed to fit our trucks with no modifications.

Shop around if you decide to go this route. I found a huge range in the cost of the step bars.

Hope this helps.

The AC is great... But I found myself not using it as much as I thought I would. Something about driving these old trucks with the windows down.. Just feels right to me..

Truck turned out great. You have a great eye for what a swb 4x4 should look like. Well done sir!!!!

They use the exisitng cab bolts and a brace that goes to the frame. You have to drill four 3/8" holes in the bottom of the frame. I am in Houston, but when I get back home I will take a picture of how they are mounted.

Looks like a good time. Maybe one of these days we can both go with our trucks...
I see the LS thing is really catching on.
Thanks for sharing the pictures.

I agree! I just recently found this thread and have been working my way through it. I did skip to the end and have a look at the finished project. Very nice work Mark. I will be referring to your thread a lot during my build. Larry

[MoreLoveThanMoney]

Mark I'm curious, after everything you did to rebuild the front end and change out the steering box, did you ever consider cross over steering? Trying to figure out if its worth it or not and just wondering what your opinion of the stock steering setup is

[clamcake]

GREAT build. I PMed you about help with my 4x4 blazer (72) brake lines. Thank you
