Sweet work Jerry.
Thought on the rear axle vent I learned the hard way, (from it getting clogged by "mud daubers/dirt daubers nesting in the open rubber hose our trucks come with) is to run extra hose up to the bottom of the bed area then back downwards and add a filtered vent, (many of them made in 3/8" hose configs).

For our newer members...
If you need some inspiration on your build by all means stop and look at what Jerry started with here!
Taking a cab from the rusted our floorpans and cab mounts to this stage is not impossible, (and look at the end results here)! :yt:

:hmm: Well it seems to be harder than it needs to be but, progress is the Ultimate goal :wink: :D So in the midst of doing my brake lines and getting things in place. I decided to do my steering (grant) wheel and get my column set... so everything (booster&MC)could get the tighten up.

:cuss: :? :doh: http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... =5&t=96649 A big :clap: :thup: to Chris for the help
Although I'm not happy with the gap.... I was at least able to get my column set(Hoping to get a deeper Grant cover) and tighten up the main bracket and everything on the firewall.

In the process of getting the holes drilled through the floor for my shifting linkage and E brake cable. Replaced my power steering lines :hd:

Great work on the wheel! Thanks for the update.

In regard to the question you sent me about the E-brake cable:

Overall length = 80-1/8" tip to tip of cable ends. The ends stick out a little past the balls on the end. Inside to inside of balls = 79.25" Balls are 3/8" diameter. Here's a pic of the hole in the floor pan. Now that I've found that, I realize the cable would have had to come up through the cab mount.

2021-03-06 15.21.02 (800 x 1067).jpg
So to see how it would look and make sure it fit
2021-03-06 16.33.17 (800 x 1067).jpg
Not sure it's not going back...that little spot you can see :roll: has no carpet loop there. And when I ordered :hmm: I did not see the 4sp tranny hump in the definition of fitment :doh:

Might keep it (little spot is not a deal breaker)and work with the hump :hmm: just not sure how the hurst shifter will look

Well I'm glad I sent the carpet back, think I found a better one at OCC. and it's ordered. So I decided to get all the holes through the floor taken care of this wknd. New bucket seat mount holes, shifting linkage and of course shifter & boot

Looking good Jerry! I love...the sound proofing/insulation! I did a patchwork job on BC#16 and it even helped with the Florida heat and road noise tremendously! You'll love that barrier on your drive down the road here to Florida for vacation LOL! :oops:

Did you go with the Stang' buckets or aftermarket? What brackets do they bolt right in? :pop:

:D Last weekend I got my New(2nd try) carpet installed around the different penetrations. It's a little loose on a "Perfect Fit" but, overall not bad
carpet.jpg
Working with a local guy on my seats... so I kinda stalled the direction I was headed in the cab. So this wknd I decide to mock up the front clip and get some parts bolted for good.

Probably will put the hood, valances, maybe grill before, I disassemble (again :doh: ) for blocking & painting
