1/8" plate! That'll do! Good to see this coming together!

Look @ MadMax, I think...

I'm planning on a reproduction Mustang-style under dash unit tied into the 4.6 compressor & parts...

Thanks!! I think I'll keep my eye out for an early hump to be safe. I'm using the '04 CV trans -- it isn't small either...

Kevin:

So I could conceivably lay the late hump on the floor, trace it, cut an inch or so inside the lines (whatever the width of the flange would be), and I ought to be good? (In theory)

Re-reading that -- are you saying the early hump is wider?

Kevin: Thanks!! IIRC, the CV tans was just kissing the floor when I jacked up the tailshaft close to where I thought it needed to sit (w/o breaking out the angle finder).

Iceman used US Post service to send me a nos 63 grille from Alaska to Florida for like $30? Shipping isn't that bad...

rbeck204 do you have a link to an image of those Distinctive Industries covers? Or a good source?

I thought I had read someplace that the windshield opening was a fraction of an inch larger to accommodate the fin for the windshield trim molding

Sounds like he turned the leaf pack upside down...

Maybe post pics of how it looks today?

That's what I love about the IRS - lay it on the ground but you still have a "real" bed! Nice work.

The rims make me vomit & the overspray is disconcerting but I didn't spot the bubbling paint - where's that?

Hey guys - looking at this truck & want to ask for a value check. What would you think a fair price to pay for this would be? m http://i817.photobucket.com/albums/zz99/rusty_63/leftrearwithgatedown.jpg http://i817.photobucket.com/albums/zz99/rusty_63/Leftfrontview.jpg http://i817.photobucket.com...

Iirc '03-up tc's have a longer wheelbase (like taxis) as compared to cv/marquis/marauder?

Two bars. Right, left, right, snap!
