Went out today nothing like checking measurements in 20 weather! L bracket estimates look good. May have to trim about 1/4-1/2” off the bottom rear tower that holds the parallel links so it will clear the trans tunnel. Rear entry looks good and accessible for dropping bolts in once holes are placed. Will def have to shim device with washers for maximum level ness!

A little more farting around on fitment. Checked out the other vertical bar for the 4 link and shouldn’t have any issues there. Still going to trim the rear vertical post even though it has minimal clearance. Going to remove and drill my mounting holes and have my neighbor with the machine shop trim that piece and bend up some 1/2” thick by 3” wide steel to make my mounting L brackets tomorrow!

Not much of an update but dropped off rear vertical link and steel for trim job and brackets. I’ve mentioned Todd’s before in this thread and that’s where it’s at. He’s got some bigger fab jobs in the works right now so not sure when he’ll get to it. I’ll have to figure out some other things to work on in the mean time.

just ordered set of twin sticks. if you want to save some coin order a set of jb fab from the graveyard. They're about $50 cheaper than if you order them from JB's site

A little update! Twin sticks are here! Pretty excited about that! I probably should have done this years ago but looking forward to some smooth shifting! Also my support tower has had some clearance added to it or removed so it shouldn’t rub or come into contact with the corner of where the lower and up floor pan meet! I also got my support brackets made that will keep this thing from moving! Weather is warming up and anxious to start this project back up!!!

Well here’s a few pics for an update! You can see where I added clearance. I bought these self taping cutting 3/8” bolts to mount my support brackets into the frame. They have a serrated flange that should keep them in place along with some red lock tite. I double checked my drill templates for the mounting holes. I got those drilled out today. I’m going to toss this thing back in and mark the holes for my floor pan then drill those out, then clamp my brackets in place underneath to the frame and mark my holes to be placed on those brackets. I’ll also figure out where to put my holes in the bracket to mount to the frame. I’m hoping I can get that taken care of by this week! Once that’s done it’ll be painting and prep work

Tomorrow the plan is to get the main unit back in the vehicle, get it shimmed and squared where it will sit and mark the holes for the mounting brackets. I’m also going to check and see if the gear box that operates the in out function clears the drive shaft. Looking at pictures I might need to rotate and remount it but we’ll see. I’ll also have to adjust the stop so it will clear the mounting bolts
