Don- Thanks, I really enjoy your builds also. There doesn't seem to be as many builds going on like their was before? The site seems to be going threw a change, maybe it's just me.
I think you will like the new truck, I'm still collecting parts but getting close.
Your right I don't sell any of them, I have all of them since 1976. It just bothers me to sell them for what I have in parts, that's what people who aren't capable of building cars want to pay for them, even then I'm not sure they would sell.

39Deluxe-I have seen them also, I wanted to see how they did the internal pieces but I don't know any one who has one. so I just faked it.
the chain I chose is very high strength and 1/2" wide and the gears are hardened. I think after the initial break in it won't be a problem unless I smack a curb or a large pot hole. Something that would create abnormal stress. Unless the car isn't moving there really aren't much loads put on the steering, it's the turning of the wheel when the car is stopped and the width of the front tires that create loads.
