Re: Francis the Tow Pig - 1949 GMC 250 Dually

Thanks joedoh, no matter what, shops are never big enough!

Knocked out the tank mount on Saturday, I had full intentions of getting my steering column and brake pedal situation finished up as well, but I ran out of welding gas. I did enlarge the hole in the floor board and played around with some mounting ideas for the column. I have a drop bracket, but may end up just fabricating something instead. I'm pleased with how the tank mount came out, it really added some strength to the rear of the frame. Note, the shot from the rear makes it look cockeyed...it's just how the frame is sitting with only 1 shock on the right rear.

There should be plenty of clearance to run the exhaust straight out the back. Need to get my steering wheel situation knocked out, I'm running a custom cardboard unit right now...haha. I have another parts order ready to go with fuel lines/fittings, brake hoses, dash lights, electric fan, etc.
