    looks like its coming along pretty well. the dodge blinker is a little tough thats why i break em. the shifter should unbolt if you take the column covers off. but again, might be easier to cut them off. the 70s ones were a plastic horn shape with a swirly end disc. i love em.

    i suggested he finds a nice chrome arm for the blinker arm on the column. and maybe a similar column shifter arm since he has an auto on there. i grew up in dodges and like the look of them.

    yeah.. I'm gonna try to unbolt it..., but if i can't I'll do the same and break it off.. those columns are hard to take apart though.. they have aluminum housings or something rather... I tried taking it apart, but gave up on it rather quickly 'cuz i had to leave the yard... anyhow.. I'll post some new pics soon...

    update..

    An old picture of my truck.. only thing is difference now is the that it's primed, no side mirrors, and i replaced the vent windows with the single window doors.. Oh.. and It doesn't have a front end.. i took of the bumper, grill lights, side markers off.. doing 4runner grill front end..

    I hope to be posting new pictures soon.. I just got a mig welder last week so i hope to start hacking at it when i come back from vacation.....
