I can't beleive how much your frame looks like mine!! I just posted a question on shop talk about steerin box. Where and how are you going to mount your steering gear box and what kind? I'm using a saginua box (power steer).

Nice build! Thanx I sure learned a few things!

I didnt find your question on Shop Talk but as for the steering I am using a rack and pinion from a 80 something, cant remember the year model, Dodge Omni on mine. The slip shaft is from a 88 Ford ranger steering column. Works well together.

Thanks Dq383500 glad my build helped you. Would that be Independence Va. you're from? If so I travel through there every couple of month on my work route.

very cool build! I sent you a pm about Lahr's Speed and Custom brackets you used for your front spring

Hey 30 Essex. I am currently (for the last 4 years) building a '29 Essex highboy. Usual story, when I have time I don't have money and visa versa! And I am in an old greenhouse, and it gets cold up here in the winter!
