I'll be making some progress between the holidays. I have the week off and should be in the shop for most of that time.

Love this build, any updates? I definitely need to talk with you offline about some suspension ideas. Great stuff.

no progress lately. I've spent the little extra time I have had on the '68 satellite.

How's it going?

a few weeks ago I put the bed in place and tack welded it to keep it from moving. Now I can make the brackets for it. I think I've got the cab floor figured out too, now I need a sheet of diamond plate steel.

Didn't get much done this year, but I'm not in a rush.

yesterday I finally got some more done on the headers .











I still need to trim the collector length and add flanges . I'll likely run them awhile and then have them coated.

Here's the driver's side. Originally I thought I might have to get creative with the steering column and shaft, but it looks like it will be easier than I anticipated.




Today I made a couple of bed mounts. The through bolt is sleeved so when it's tightened it will not crush the frame. I need to make 4 more similar to them and then the rear ones will be quite a bit different. I'll finish welding them with the bed removed from the frame.
