I have thought about getting another Isuzu Rodeo box (the one Borgesen used) and build a stiffer torsion bar for the spool valve and then swap out the internals with my box.

I also got a couple of the GM "J-car" (Barretta) CTO racks that I looked into using but have put on the back burner. At this point I just want to keep the Falcon running and reliable so I can work on my driving while I design the chassis for the Model A.
