Jonathan makes some nice steering wheels. I have one too and love it. He's local here to me and has a nice shop/facility. He's gonna make me something, real sweet and one-off here soon.

Jonathan does some great work... I too have one of his steering wheels in my 57 Chevy truck which is at his brother Matt's shop (Torq'd Design) getting finished out.

Expensive, but worth every penny.

Thanks, Steve. I had no idea. You learn something new every day.

I did a search and found this site which I thought had some good history for anyone else that's interested.

Thats link didn't work for me, found this one

https://tacomabeast.com/products/toy...tage-teq-decal

Starting to get really excited about this one, I just dropped off the truck partially disassembled now at my mechanics home to get started.

This full new custom 4-Link and 3-Link suspension setup is going to be sooo cool to build.

Lets get started ...

Found this, exactly what I am planning with a few changes
White/black theme, with bronze/gold wheels

Ok guys ... lets get this crazy build started !

Completely stripped down to the frame, all non-use bracketry have been removed, and have spent the last week doing all the calculations for the fully custom 3-link front, and 4-link rear suspension.

This is undoubtedly the most technically challenging setup I've ever done, but my mechanic buddy is loving it, this is his 'dream build' so we're taking this one to the next level

New wheels ordered too ...
