Salvage 10

So far, I like it. Only had it for couple weeks though, so don't know about the long term reliability

That jack sure ain't cheap.

But still 1/2 the half the price (last time I checked anyway) of a ProEagle.

Used it some more today, alot lighter than my steel frame 6 ton floor jack. Seeing how I really don't have concrete floor.

Cool deal and noticed your concrete-ish floors.

Guess that's why I don't see spending the coin on it. I have concrete and a 2 post lift. I thought it be cool in the dirt. But after looking at it I don't think it be much good there either. I do like the extension for it. Think they should offer it for their Daytona jacks. I have the low pro extended reach one

S10 been put on the side, between helping parents get new septic lines in, and getting wifes back up winter ride going. And getting fire wood in, and this mess up on my part. Looking to get back on it here shortly.

Chassis is all welded up until i find something I missed, dropped the belly skid out decided to trim some weight sorry no pic.
Originally i bolted bottom skid/transfercase mount in, until i figured out what was going to be easiest to remove transfer out the bottom or top, out the top won, so belly is solid welded now.
Been changing stuff here an there, boatsides are done, eccept the end tube made some simple fender mounts, hood pins will attach to these also.
Set a door on just to see how far body lines are off

Looking good!

Not been a whole lot accomplished, been messing with other projects. And toy money dried up.
Made up some random panel tabs for floor pans, used 1/4 20 rive nuts, made tilt steering adjuster, still need to get axle bolt for the top bracket. I like it kinda, but if it ever gets going I will change it out if it gives me issues.

Progress (whether big or small) is still progress. That's a whole lotta rive nuts! and I like the tilt wheel too

I made to many of the c channel ones, forgot I had different plans. I like the rive nuts on stuff like this, manly for easy thread repair.
Played around with dash frame some today nothing fancy, more than likly going run standard gauges and switches, I like the look and function of digital dashes but dont think I can get myself to spend that kind of cash, and dont feel long term reliabilty has been proven yet, just my opinion.
And still have enough room for heater underneath.

Understandable on gauges vs digital dash. I feel like the digital dash survives if it is mounted somewhere semi-protected, but have no first hand experience with them.

Im more worried about me doing some thing stupid and destroying it, Ive delt with myself before.
Truck will have a windsheild, an doors sometimes.
