Thanks Jim, sometimes I do feel pretty good about it. I just went back and looked at your steering. I suppose you want power steering, due to wheel size and such, you need to find something that will allow the pitman arm to point down. The only possible way I see that box working would be mounted below frame rail, and with parallel leaf springs thats out. You could go cross steer if there is room for the box towards the front of the engine on the inside of frame rail. I'll look at a saginaw box I have, power, it might mount in a similar manner and have pitman arm pointed down. I'll let you know what I discover.

Tkanks for takin the time. What do you think of my idea of the gears under the dash? (to reverse direction on shaft to steer box). Do you have any pics of the truck in the back ground of you bucket? That one looks cool also.

Thanks Whip, I will try. As for the door, not to ignore yours or anyone else's sugestions, but I just didn't think I had the tools or tallent to do anything else. With the exception of a more std height door, without my dom side bar. I decided to cut the gap to about a 1/16", and I may have an additional trick, if I am lucky, with the placement of one of the scallops that might further camafloge the lower gap.

So I haven't heard, or missed it. How are your knees comming along?
