No one cared to see the truck laid out?-----Here's some little updates...I had to get creative with the steering. Even with a double joint at the rack I couldn't get enough angle out of the u-joints. I used the stock joint at the rack which accepted a 1" DD u-joint, then ran 3/4" DD out of that through a solid heim to a 3/4" DD u-joint. The shaft coming out of the cab was hollow and a 3/4" DD shaft fit perfectly inside of it, so I slid a piece inside and welded it through the factory bolt holes.Then I dropped the front frame horns down 3-1/2" and took 1" out if the length because I moved the cab back 1". Followed that up with a little gusset.Then I started getting to work on the wiring. I made a new hole under the brake booster for the wires to come from inside the cab to the engine compartment. Then I located the enormous fuse box along the frame rail and proceeded to replace all the wires on the motor.Last one for today, I cut out the passenger side inner wheel tub and bolted up the fender.

The steering wasn't too bad. I was kinda bummed that I had to use the factory piece at the rack, but now with the fuse box over it you don't even see any of the steering, lol.

Thanks for all the nice comments, after no one said anything after the last post with the truck laid out I was worried no one liked me anymore, haha
