Thanks. I'll check into that crossmember. I like the way you made your clutch linkage. I wonder if I could modify the swing pedal assembly from the 96 and put in the 56 similar to yours. Then I think I could use the factory clutch master cylinder as you did. Did you use the plastic factory tubing for your clutch? Thanks again, Greg.

Glad I could help out and thanks for the compliments. The factory tubing fit just fine.

Flatbed update

I'm almost ready to finish weld the steel flatbed I'm making for this truck. All I have left to do is finish the support pieces that go underneath the angle iron and still need to lay out the headache rack.

It isn't, however it is built to look like one. It is a scratch built 4 core radiator built by a local shop.

Finished the Flatbed




Not quite done, but all I have left to add is a couple boxes to go underneath, and lights.

Dang, that flatbed looks awesome, just like it could've come on the truck, great job, I also love the way you integrated the pedal pads into the new pedals, makes it look more "right", great build
