The truck looks great. I would love to have the diesel power, but that may be another day. Just curious, what are you using for wiper motors? Are those electric wipers mounted on the windshield. Sorry if I missed this in a previous post.

Troop,
The wipers came from AB Linn. They are 12v replacements. I havent done anything with them yet. I just had to mount them as I am about to start bending the cage. Didnt want to redo the front hoop with the prices of DOM these days
Time for a few updates....
Got the transmission and transfercases cradle figured out. This is the base of the structure. The hoop goes over the NV4500. It will have two 90 degree bends with break points that go the front of the hoop. The middle will have a plate to cathc the NV4500 mount. I have a smaller hoop for the rear which will catch the NP205. I know thats a lot to visualize but thats what it is.
Slight learning curve with a new tube bender haha.

Finally got some time to get the new steering box on. Used some angle made from 1/4" steel and gussets on the backside to tie it all. Also cycled the steering to mark the mounts for the hydro assist. The bars are .375 wall. Heims are 7/8x3/4.

Steering box.....not trimmed yet. Will be flush with the frame from the side and contoured on the bottome to match the box.

i like the craddle mount , always hard learning to bend.
Here is the rest of the cradle. One side is lower for the slave cyl. The rear hemi loop is for the 205.
It is not welded together so the angles appear a bit funny.

Oh yeah, a piece of 1/4 plate is being cut and welded to the bottom for a skid:D
Nice fab work! Man, if I had a bender I'd never leave the garage...
Truck and fab work or looking amazing!
