It's staying stock 'murican' so a lefty.
Spent 2 hours wrangling the drivetrain into a place I'm happy with and decided it will be easier to beat the firewall into submission than reworking the steering column and front x member.

Cut and welded the crossmember together and laid the bed wooden crossmember across to make sure everything clears.

It's a kit I bought from 'Welder Series' mainly because their stuff is very well made and being in Canada shipping doesn't kill me.

Hey Bob, speaking of money, you know that $ 20.00 that I owe you for the PS bracket, you don’t need to worry about it, I will never stick you for it ..............................and I will owe it to you forever.

Got the exotic pressure treated bed rails in,just have to give them a million coats of something then they'll be done.
Dropped the bed back on and a rear fender so i can measure for the rims and make the covers for the coilovers.
