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.

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.
