I will do a write up on in when I get home from work (on Friday) so I can have access to my pics on my home computer. It wasn't terribly difficult at all and only took a few hours once I had all the parts and pieces together.


I have to give credit to Madgyver because his idea was what I used as the basis for mine, although mine is different than his.

how much free play (front stick vs. rear stick) is in it? Can't you adjust the position of the connector bar on the rear stick to adjust the distance between gears?

As I said before mine is very similar to what Mad did, I just used threaded clevises on the ends of my connecting rod and made a different kind of connection at the tranny end. I'll get some pics up ASAP I've just been layed up in the bed all day with a bad back. I just don't have it in me to put it all together tonight. My back is killing me and I'm going back to bed.

had to fab these up before OCBR....needed one more inch of lift but didnt want to lose the duff style extreme bottom coil mounts...made these of 3 pieces of 3/8" plate and a 1/4" thick strap on the top....had to bore the top two pieces bigger than the bottom plate so the washer and bolt head would set down in them...wanted to use the same length of bolt as stock so i wouldnt have a big side load stress

Howie has us all beat with the "everything" however I have a few.
Quarters , dash and engine.

I love the rear quarter fabrication. It gives the cool uncut lines bit w big tires.

Sweet.

How about my gear shifters? They match my gear crankers.
