Nice work, ML!
Thank you! I'm mostly just making it up as I go. It's working so far!

Not a ton of work got done this weekend but it all adds up.
I fit the original steering column to get some measurements and order an aftermarket one but as it turns out this one fits pretty well. I'm going to try and reuse it.
I'll have to do some machining on the end so it can couple with the steering joints I bought but I know a guy that can do that.
I also ordered all those steering bits today along with a power rack from a 99-06 2wd Silverado. It's the right width and I'm going to see if I can fit it in and make it functional.

I also started mocking up the sheet metal pattern for the passenger side. That firewall has some compound curves that don't look fun to overlay but I'll make it work. It's what hammers are for after all.

Thanks! Like I said. Making it up as I go and doing what makes sense to me.

Is the 'doghouse' going to be removable?

No it's already stitched in.

Actually, the floor pans that I am in the process of constructing. I think I'm going to mount with rivets. I was originally going to weld them in and the more I got into it the more I think a bunch of rivets would look pretty cool.
Those floor pans are going to be flanged on the inside to allow me to rivet to the transmission tunnel.
I think I'm just going to run a bead of steam sealer everywhere things touch and go to town with the rivet gun

And speaking of rivet guns... I have a ton of DeWalt cordless tools but they do not make a riveter.
I have a handheld one, but there's going to be enough rivets in this project that I don't want to be squeezing them one by one. Has anybody ever used a pneumatic one? I have not ever used one or seen one in action. I think they use them for production riveting so they must work. I'm just wondering how user friendly are they? Price is certainly right.

I haven't, but another option is stitch welding the panels and then sealing. If you use a weldable zinc primer it should help with the corrosion issue, and eliminate the purchase of another tool, and the pain of all the hand riveting.
Just a thought.

But rivets look awesome.
This is the gun I'm looking at

No way I'd do it all by hand.
