Great picture David. Glad your trip to visit Charles was lots of fun .

Your truck is looking great Gary !!

Welcome and what a great story.

looking really good !!

Very interesting. I myself have only ever seen the driver side mount found on the telephone repair truck. Thanks for sharing the pic. Are you going to use it on your truck ? It would make it stand out in a crowd.

Hey great pics Stu. I hope to visit Disney World at some point.

I think it is for flexibility off road allows the cab and frame more movement. That way body mounts won't crack or bend. Just my 2 cents worth.

WOW close call glad your shed did not get smashed down on your trucks!!

The Chassis harness should be able to be separated by connectors on the pass side fender well . They should all have little number tags on them to keep them in order . If the harness is old and brittle it could be hard to get the connectors apart with out damaging them and the wire ends. I don't kno...

Alright David. Looks really good. OH definately you need to have a new project to test the porta power on !
