It's been a while since I posted. I'll try to update as much as possible. Mostly prepping the cab for paint.


Lokar shifter install. Need a taller shifter I think.

Driver side rear cab corner had me worried. I wanted to cover the stock gas filler hole anyways. So I bought a repo cab corner for my first attempt

The spot welds came out pretty easy, and I was pretty happy with the patch panel. The door edge needed some banging a little bit. And the bead rolled area on the back of cab wasn't the same size. All in all,pretty good fit for my fist time.

It's bolted to the flex plate. And I took it off right after transmission was moved out of the way

Sorry, I should have dug deeper into you build so I wouldn't have had to ask. I'm planning on using a 351W/C6 in my current built and looking for all the info I can find

I like the tranny mount because it's adjustable and makes tranny easily removable. Came from shop in phoenix "industrial chassis". Steve is owner
