thanks guys,
finally got my drive shaft done, couple little cuts and went right in. also got the radiator and shroud on, luckily its the one thing i didn't end up selling when i parted the truck out so just saved a couple hundred using it. going to run two rods from the cab to the top to the radiator for more support. the mounts look crappy now, i still have to cut them down, grind them down, and paint them black. lot of work for those two stupid pieces of angle iron.

first time on the streets! got the steering all done so did a little testing on the street. it'll come together when the doors, grill, bed and other little things go on. its definitely going to be fun turning in tight spots at car shows and such.

got the frame all painted tonight. Use a rustoleum paint called hammer black, gives it a cool old and rippled look. should be able to start assembling tomorrow night.
crappy camera but you can kind of see how it looks
