Thanks for your input. The wooden cart is something I found on this site but like you I don't have confidence in it for building a body. I've spoken to the company that's building the chassis and they said it was hard for them to send what I was asking for and they don't build...

Ok after paying more attention to the link like you suggested I see where I can measure the distances from the vertical datum line in the bottom drawing to get the mount heights. If I'm looking at this correctly, I think all the four bed mounts are at the same height so if I called this 0" in...

Sure I'm interested

Yep I double posted. Because I'm so highly advanced in technology, lol I posted the first time and couldn't find where it went. So I put a different title on it and tried again. The first post with the drawing of the wooden cart is the only thing I could find with height dimensions of the body...

Hey guys I'm looking for the exact dimensions for the heights of the body mounts for a 72. I'm try to build a jig so I can build a body kit from WH while I wait on the rolling chassis to get here in September. Thanks

Can anyone verify that these are the dead nut dimensions for the heights of the body mounts? I'm trying to build a jig so I can build a body kit from WH and I'm trying to avoid having to wait until the rolling chassis gets here in September to weld everything out. I've done many searches and am...

Didn't realize I double posted the pics.

More rust than I thought. Notice the yellow patch at the drivers seat platform is a piece of road sign. Another piece was used for the battery tray as well as the floor pans(yellow side down). There were two pair of vice grips clamping the steering column behind the dash as the bolts had rusted...

For sure!

Special order from Wild Horses...

And it begins.

Before:

Good afternoon everyone. I'm about to start a complete build of this 72 and I have a lot of the parts purchased already. I need to replace a decent amount of sheet metal as usual. I have a new hood, front fenders, grill, front inner fender wells, inner and outer rocker panels, a fully welded...

Awesome, thanks!

Lol I bet that was one heck of a attention getter! I thought you were referring to problems with the stand alone controller that I'll have to use(US Shifts) instead of the actual factory electronics inside the transmission. Is there any way to replace this lead frame with an aftermarket unit...

I have always heard sometimes one sounds smarter if you don't say anything but I've always had a pretty thick skin as far as people thinking I was stupid. Would you be able to explain to me what is the "lead frame"? I've never heard of that.....All ears and sorry for my ignorance right up front...

That's what we're thinking too (always searching for a gear). Also I didn't mention it but I spoke with a very reputable transmission shop that does quiet a bit of work for us and was asking him how do the 6R80 compare to the 10R80 and he said the 6R80 had been out in various vehicles since...

Thanks, it'll be a bit before we get started but I'm working on the build sheet and trying to work out as many of the bugs before we start. Didn't do that the last time and learned a lot of costly lessons and really didn't achieve what I was hoping for. This site is an incredible source of great...

Just spoke with Karl at US Shift and he thinks the route to go is everything from the back of the block back should be set up like a Gen 2 6R80. So I think that's the route I'll try. Starter plate, starter, flex plate, torque converter with the 6R80 transmission and the US Shift stand alone...

I'll reach out to him Monday. I spoke with someone named Kevin I believe his name was Friday and he was just explaining about the quick 6 stand alone module and harness. Sounds like a good system and I'd like to try it out but I didn't ask him about the flex plate. I did tell him that I wanted...
