Sq 10

Larry, is this the stepside truck you wanted help naming?

Should be a great build as yours usually are.

Curtis, no, this is a different core. It is a 1989 square body, thus, square 10.

Gotcha.

Thanks for sharing. Will be following the build, I’m sure it will be beautiful like everything else that comes out of your shop!

It takes 5 levels to properly install shock crossmember and tabs.

Looking good Larry.

Definitely looking like another great project, Larry! Who did the 9 Inch axle housing come from?

Jim, I buy the housings from Strange with the axle tubes over length so I can build the exact width to suit my wheelback spacing.

The Strange housing is a quality part, well made, well braced.

I realize that the market offers several excellent-quality, easy-to-install switch panels. Yet, I am old and like holding onto my old roots of building things. I receive satisfaction from hand-building. The K & R box and toggle switches will mount here.

Old, reliable MSD 7AL with two step mount on top.

I agree, Larry. That piece looks to be very well made. Thank you.

Right there with ya Larry. I made my own valve covers, fuel cell, carb filter, radiator over flow tank, radiator filler tank, dash, firewall, upper A-arms, both motor plates, cut apart and re-welded my seat to make it fit. I take a lot of pride in making things my way, instead of someone else's idea that is more universal.
