    Your trucks an auto Ive never had one apart myself I would think its a little more involved than a manual. good looking out on the drive-shaft issue I'll keep an eye out for it when shes done.

    Have you thought any more on your steering, my room mate and I are both building one of these right now.

    Currently he is thinking about an fj 40 box,


    1 idea I am thinking about throwing into the mix is the box off of a izuzu or a toyota rack n axle

    I'm pretty sure I'm just going to use the stock rack with a short link to a idler arm then back down to axle. Seems that is going to be the easiest way to do it without getting super complicated. Curious how the steering shaft from the steering wheel works as the axle moves

    I did swap out the stock rear leafs for a set with a little more arch to them, after the engines back in and I build a bed for it it should sit nice and level.

    So things have been getting better and some work has been done, a buddy started helping me with the wiring(had it running but have an intermittin issue) got parts in to make shifters work and steering parts, started building the bed and added new drivers seat.
