    thanks

    thanks

    thanks

    its basically like wiring your switches like normal, except they're all together in one spot. one terminal block is power and the other (black wires) is grounds. i tied all the grounds together, and the top post of the terminal goes to ground on the cab. the power wire goes into the top post with the colored wire and provides power to the switchbox. i did it like that so i can upgrade to a 7 switch box in the future.

    thanks

    i got the front shocks from Speedway Motors - Street Rod Parts, Race Parts, Ford Flathead Parts, Sprint and Midget Racing Parts, Pedal Car Parts. they're pro shocks for hot rods. the mounts i made myself.

    thanks
