Only 70 ft?
How do you fit everything in?
Mine's 40 ft x 80 ft.
And it's not big enough.
I had to build two more.
Plus another one I built years ago . . .johnboy

Some mistakes are too much fun to be made only once.
I don't know everything about anything, and I don't know anything about lots of things.

I like the beefy rear frame member, nothing like shoring them up a bit! Also makes a nice attachment point for the tank straps." "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.

Been spending some time out in the shop Got new cross member fitted mocked up engine trans to get driveshaft length. Can't find a yoke for the trans I think I gave it to a guy way back when. Figured I sell the trans and never need it. Yeah sure. Anyway here is where I'm at now Next take it all apart and run new brake and fuel lines.

Looking good Charlie! I think that trans is a little sporty for a work truck. It should move out nicely for sure!

Little update. I have spent the last 2 days working on the clutch linkage for my 72. One wouldn't think its all that tricky as the truck was stick. But as I now have angle plug heads I bought Hooker Headers to match. They were the only ones that made them>> SOO I found out they will work great IF you are running auto trans. There is a tube running next to the oil filter and that is where the linkage is supposed to go. Today after cutting the linkage arm off the third time and rewelding it I think I have it to where the linkage will fit without hitting the tube or the filter. BUT because I cut the adjusting rod shorter back 2 steps it is now to short. I found another one so all is (almost ) Who says modifying cars (trucks) ain't fun. If my camera was working I show pictures . That to is giving me fits.Charlie
