Lookin pretty good for a ginger! Do you think that driver's side is going to have plenty of clearance on the downpipe for the steering shaft? Hard to tell from the pictures, but it looks pretty darn tucked!
Pretty sure he will have more than one intercooler.

Theres room for a modified steering shaft, but just barely. The drivers side was tricky to get around the wiring, brake lines, steering, brake cable...etc. There was really only one way I could figure to run it.
Im going to run two water to air intercoolers. I should be getting those in pretty soon. They're probably going on either side of the engine unless I can find a better spot.

Great build, first off congrats on finding a straight first gen-10. Gotta few questions, what is your dash material, balsa, pt, or what, and are you going to glass over it? What mounts are you using, and wow there's alot of room between coils and brake master cylinder, because it's a non-power brake truck right? Oh, and who/where did you get this "kit"? Sorry for the interrogation. Great work, keep it up, subin' in!

Thanks man, the dash is made of mdf and fiberglass. Im not glassing the whole thing because im having it stitched in leather. I do need to update the dash build with some pics. Im designing a custom guage cluster that will be hidden behind the face of the dash which is a solid piece of black plexi. The guages, indicator lights, etc will only be visible when the truck is on.
As far as my mounts, I cant remember the specific brand. Ill have to look through my reciepts. They are poly mounts though, as well as the trans mount.
The kit, I guess youre referring to the turbo kit? I built it myself. Oh, and yes its a manual brake truck. Lucky me because I doubt the booster would fit lol.
