:beerchug: Wooooow I'm really impressed, that is some standard of workmanship.
I would have really wanted a device like you have to flip the bus - makes working on the underside a whole lot easier.
Cheers mate I look forward to the sequels!

Say, how in the world did u remove the tube/bar that goes connected
from the gear box to the stick-shift/handle.
It travels right in the middle of the beam.
I must remove that in order for me to
install my new beam.

 

[K@rlos]

Chris mate are you going 100% stock???

You remove the gear lever (stick shift) from inside the cab, then underneath there is a joint, where the front portion of the rod joins the centre/rear. Just get underneath and trace it from the shifter to the next connecting point

More done gettimg there now should be all done in a couple of weeks

Birch ply done looks very nice strange reflection on picture but you get the idea
