"A" build

[pchop]

A little motor mock up in action.  Chevy 348 and FOUR TWOS if Only I had a running one to use

[pchop]

Now on to the frame, as you can see in the pic it has the 265 and 4spd in it already.  I was like 3'' shorter then the 348 so I had to move a few things around since it only has front motor mounts.

Heres a shot of the rear control looks kinda like a chevy.  Its just some 1 3/4 od tube an 1/8 thick.  I was cleaning out some stuff and came acrossed a box of poly bushing I had gotten a few yrs ago.  Score It pays to be a pack rat.

Here it is with the cab and box I whip up.  Again 18ga and some tubing

[pchop]

Yea that window frame is gone now it looks way fast.

[pchop]

Here is some pics of the floor structure.  Its made up of 3/4 and 1 inch square tubing.

This was my first attempt at a front crossmember.

Just another view of it.  With this crossmember setup the lower radiator outlet would have been between the axle and crossmember which we all know would not work very long.
