Very interesting Dave. This may be the best compromise between cutting the frame for an inside the frame PS box and no mechanical connection with a full hydraulic system. Did you do this installation yourself ? I still have a lot more questions. Like, who has some information on how the...

There are some pictures...none of them show any steering components

Now that my truck is a 'Pickup', it's just like all of the other Chevy, Dodge, Ford diesel pickups with the exhaust at ground level. How can it get me in trouble?

Sure would like to see some pictures of your set up

Ole Don at the Gold King Mine, great guy! He keeps his Harley flat tracker in his living room, ya gotta love that.

What a cool looking truck. I'd like to do something like that on my next one. I suspect there's a bunch of us that would like to see some pictures of how you mounted the cab.

Some sort of cab scabbed onto a WC ?

More unsprung weight. Oh Boy !

Tool box? I don't have a tool box in the way. I mounted my seats to a 5/16 plate, just like the plate to which the spring seat was mounted and used the original four mounting holes in the floor. Air seats need a very wide and solid mounting pattern as the seat belts are part of the seat and...

Wow. Quite a big wish list...that should take a few years. be sure and post pictures of your progress, we'll be watching. I've got to ask, WHY cross over steering?

Interesting. Your still using the original manual box? How did you do that? Ram assist on the tie rod like some old Ford trucks? Sounds like an inexpensive way to do it if your happy with the results. Can you take some pictures ? Thanks, Greg

" I can’t stop buying army truck old, used, parted out, I just can’t stop…" Why stop. Rehab is for quiters

What model and make is the PS steering box? Inside or outside of the frame rail? Thanks, Greg

"hydro-assist" ? are you talking about going to a power steering box or hydraulic ram assist? and why cross over steering?

You could still do a M35 Bobber ( because a BIG truck with BIG tires is really cool ) and when the trails get too tight and gnarley for a Bobber ( which they will ) unload your Mighty Mite out of the back and go where the jeeps won't go....just an idea

uh put 24V bulbs in em

It's been discussed a ga zillion times...do a search. lots of opinions already expressed

Very ambitious build and some great ideas. Way to stay motivated, it will be worth it for sure. I've been watching a broken down Mog near me for years. Now I really want to get my hands on it. Guess I had better up the ante
