Well things have been slow for a bit. Between working and the recent passing of my father 2 weeks ago, Im just now getting back in the saddle. So here we go.
First order was to ge the cab off and finish some welding. Also made getting the triple stick linkages worked out ALOT easier. So off it came.

Here are the linkage bars for the 205. The 205 rails were modified so 2L and FWD are possible. The 203 linkage is about as easy as they come so I didnt take a pic ot it. The shifters will be maounted on tabs welded to the top halo bar

Here is where the top halo mounts to the crossmembers. The front is a pad mount secured with bolts and the rear is a tube breaker set.
