SKYMANGS:
Running board brackets built and welded in. Next the truck comes all back apart to finish seam welding, paint the frame, test fire the engine, and build the exhaust.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Sorry to jump back a week.... Wondering about your bear claw (Altman) latches? Seems like everywhere they are $350... Any tips for picking them up for a less? Any other solution?

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
I found them at a place called "Dreamers Hot Rods" for around $250. Still expensive, but not as bad. It is more cost effective for my customers than the labor for the fitment and fab required for bear claws. I really like the Altman latches.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
SKYMANGS:
Got Shawn's truck mostly back apart today. Seamed in the running board brackets too, Also the steering shaft mocked up to check clearances and angles. Looks good.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Thanks Ratty_46 and Advanced design... This one has been challenging. Those huge tires required lots of alterations to my normal build specs. I'm enjoying attempting to live up to Shawn's expectations!

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
damn, why does it seem when some nice good positive things come to most people something bad happens. I couldn't imagine the dealing with that. I worry everyday about my kid. Gotta make the best of this short time we have. You seem to be doing that well.
sorry for your loss.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Chris as I told you family first. This truck has been waiting for 20 years another week or two won't harm anything. But I understand, Cecil was my therapy when mom passed back in August. This old truck is a good listener.
