Re: 54 3100 daily driver build
Well since I've last posted I've got the truck back down to the frame again (amazing how many times you have to put parts one for mock up and measurements just to take them back off again lol). The Cab has been sent out to be blasted so that I can see exactly what I'm working with.

I've finished up modifying my LCA's so that I can use bags instead of coil overs. I still have to mount my upper shock mounts and hope to get those welded in some time during the week. I've taken the engine over to the shop to see how it'll fit between the rails (man the rails on 47-54 are NARROW where the engine goes). It's going to be interesting to see how I'll have to route the exhaust and everything that will be under the truck.

Goal for this week is to get the cab back and in a quick coat of primer/sealer, install the frame mount brake pedal, and get the engine/trans mounted. Good thing I'm off this week because I'll be busy trying to tackle this list lol.

Oh and if you see a young man that looks a lot like me with dreads driving down the road run for you life (Translation Alexander has his driver's permit lol)

I'll post pics in a couple of days.
