I also taught him how to put in 5min of hard work and then spend 15min staring and admiring what you have done...

Thats where i mounted mine at in the same exact spot seems to work well. When i did my box i moved it as far forward as i could but then again my front end is moved 3" forward yours is only about and 1 1/2 so you should be fine. Lookin good dude, I wanna see this thing rollin again.  :bud:

Does it need to go up more?  Keep in mind I dont have the pitman arm cranked down yet...Forward more?  Its as far as it can go without cutting the radiator support, and I have already done the new spring hanger and put on the marlin springs so the axle isnt moving farther forward anytime soon...


Looks good man! As long as the steering shaft is lined up properly and isnt catching on anything you should be good. That is almost identical to how i have mine mounted. Sounds like you have a mount for it so you should be good to go. You are going to be in steering heaven when you get that all finished up....power steering AND crossover steering...  :rockingout: Looking good...

Alright...heres a little update for anyone who cares.....
I havent posted on my build for awhile because I have been sorting out issues with my newly installed steering....Anyway heres a little bit of catch-up

The mount welded up


And heres the culprit...The first steering box which lead to rediculous binding and other issues that can be read about on the tech board

I Installed that one before last weekend and had problems ever since, so I got a rebuilt one from marlin and put it in today...



So far this one seems to be working great!

Also finally got around to mounting the stabilizer today... Ive been driving around without one for about a week and I probably couldve left it off, but i like the resistance it provides... makes the steering a little more consistent and predictable in my opinion...

And lastly, I put a new master cylinder on...as my old one was starting to bypass and my brake pedal would ease to the floor before I got any stopping power...


As you could imagine, this brake problem, combined with my lack of steering left me driving a deathtrap to and from work last week.  The new MC did the trick and my test drive went very smoooth....Nice to get things buttoned up (for awhile at least)   :biggthumpup:

Truck looks great!  Did your front springs finally level out?  I just bought a set of MC 4" springs, and that got me a little worried.

thanks guys...I got a little update but I wont post it up until later tonight.  Actually AW, even after I welded in the pad on the driver side perch, I still keep 2 bags of sand in the passenger side of the bed to keep it level...  Im considering swapping the front springs when I feel up to it...

Well, I finally got tired of looking at this, for the couple of months after the idiots felt the need to bust up my dash, even though the cd player was practically just setting in there...

I finished it out with a subtle MARPAT desert camo theme to match my brown/beige interior.  Also added some switches for lights and such, and I am pretty happy with it...

I used it to mask and paint with different shades of brown/tan/ grey on the panel, if you look closely...
