@@buildsnburnouts6046 I just pulled my cab and chassis in the garage, going to start rebuilding the motor I got. But after I strip the chassis and lay it over the frame this is exactly what I plan to do. Especially the hand pump, keep it nice and simple.
Yep, I was concerned about lifting the cab if I had a dead battery. It turned out great and isn't any harder than jacking a car off the ground. Make your ram mounts super beefy! I believe I ordered to 3/8" offroad shock tabs and welded them together on either side of the mount for a total of 4 per end. I ripped off a few prior to that and broke or bent some lesser bolts.
i'm at the point on my 12 valve install on 53 white 3000 I would like too know what you used for a radiator and intercooler and is you steering box original power type i got this as a partial build basket case with roof damage from a tree landing on it since repaired I would greatly appreciate any info you can provide thanks again bob botai

That truck is so cool, I think it would be very satisfying to restore it...
that is so cool
This exactly what I want to do.
I thought it would be complicated but once you figure out the general idea it wasn't too bad.

@@buildsnburnouts6046 I just really need to figure out what length to get for a ram, Guess I will get to that point once I start mocking up
