Inner frame rails are welded in along with the center brace and front drive shaft loop. The trans tail shaft will fit thru the loop should I have to remove the trans.

The brake booster is in as well as the brake pedal assembly. I'm going to replace the threaded linkage rod with a 5/8 piece of bar stock which I'll thread on both ends.

Pan hard bar is in....just have to weld the bracket to the axle.

OI....I do have that o-ringed oil fill cap in my valley pan.

I got the first radius rod in tonight. I borrowed the mag base drill from the shop with an end mill and it drilled a perfect hole. Put it right in the center of the bottom rail (cab rail). If you remember I had longer radius rod made from Pete & Jakes because they looked much better tied in near the z. These are 10 or 11" longer and the included a stiffener in the center which looks cool

I have my caster set at 6 degrees on that side.....I might have to adjust as I install the other and dial it in.

I read somewhere....I think on the HAMB that the passenger side caster should be greater to compensate for the crown in the road. Should I do that or should i make em both the same.
