This vehicle is just so cool. It's the epitome of what rodding is all about. Necessity is the mother of invention. Can't wait to see it done. Hope the cooling system works as well as the design.

Ben.........are you going to have a side scoop that catches air for the radiator or just have the louvers?
As I plan to tow with the truck and given that the transbrake will produce extra heat, I have installed two transmission coolers in series. The first is a heatsink and the second is a fan cooled unit (with thermo switch).

Have also made good progress on the exhaust. The photo is a bit deceiving. There is a plenty of clearance between the mufflers and gas tank.

It's looking great! The exhaust looks cool, and the shroud turned out nice as well.
Excellent work; you have some great fabrication skills, sir.
Thanks for all the encouragement!
Finished relocating the seat mounts to maximize leg room.

Also making good progress on the dash mounted shifter.

I am repurposing the radio opening to locate the shifter. By doing so, I avoid cutting up the only nice sheet metal on the truck!

Clever. How is the clearance from the window to the shifter? No knuckle cracking?
