Yes they do specialize in demo headers but when on a budget I can experiment... Yes the steering is right above or slightly behind the axel. We are pricing the manual brake setup today. My truck is fairly rough too. Hey it really only needs to look OK from 50 foot so we will fill what holes we can and paint her up with some JD green!! I keep forgeting to take the camera out to the shop with me. Hopefully in the next day or so we will get the headers on and get some pics. Look forward to seeing your pics too and yes I am sure we will hook up sometime. What size of motor are you guys running?
