    ASCO.

    In my opinion, there are no other valves.

    Pics of the Z'ing of the front frame clip...

    First two shots show cutting out, and smoothing the VIN stamp that protrudes from the frame. It gets in the way of plating the frame. Third shot shows the frame cut and moved up.

    First shot here shows the Z fully boxed. Second is the VIN welded back onto the frame, and last is an overall shot.

    Pics of the front set-up, tranny crossmember, and rear set-up. Trucks should be complete and laying out by today. If all goes well, it will be at the Forbidden Fantasy Show this Sunday (Mar. 15th) in Perris, CA, showing with all the other trucks from my club. More pics to follow with the bed on. Stay tuned!!!

    Don't mind the tires. Those are for mock-up. Same overall diameter as a 225/35/20, or thereabouts!!!
