Made a bracket to hold the steering column to the cab floor plate. I had to Split the plate in half so I could get it around the column I had made the plate last year and now the steering shaft is in solid. That allowed me to cut the 3/4" double D shaft extension and put it and the two universal joints in. Now I can actually turn the front wheels with the steering wheel in the cab.
Made some upper seat belt mounting brackets to weld to the cab just above each seat by the doors so I can install three point seat belts later. Still have to make the brackets for the floor mount yet but will buy the belts first that have and installation package with them. Got to decide on the color first,
Will be working on the exhaust system next.
Had a nice surprise last night when Dennis Patrick (One of my Old Dogs who ride Hogs Partners known as "Two Gallon") from Topeka showed up with his son Russell for a visit. Russell is a woodworker and keeps me updated on his projects. He looks good in my Ford.

All looks good. Sure is a bummer about the exhaust manifold clearance ? Nothing a couple of beers and some creative welding probably can't solve.
