Drilled and taped two holes in the front crossover piece and installed the brake metering valve. Got all the brake lines made and installed except the last one at the right rear. Will finish that one this weekend. Also drilled holes in the frame and install insulated brake line clamps about a foot apart. Used Stainless Steel nuts and bolts to hold the clamps down.
Van Aldershof showed up again today and brought the steering column back with a new column drop on it that he made out of a nice chunk of aluminum. He also punched out the ignition switch and installed a new one with a key in it. We mocked it up in the cab and I think it's going to be great. Van saved me a lot of money and time on this little baby. He's an excellent machinist.
Now I will have to build an additional plate to mount the bottom end of the column to the floor board/ firewall.
