Welds all cleaned up and painted. Slide the axle out from under the box and put it under the Ex frame. Decided to use the springs from the truck so we have to move the front spring perches forward 8". Going to have the drive shaft shorten from the 12.

Got all the exhaust reconfigured and hung. All the wiring figured out. Last to do is plumb the fuel lines and drill one hole for the new shocks.

Got the shocks installed, broke out the bottom of the tank for the sending unit out of the 12. Need to lengthen the sending unit hoses and rods. So the gauge reads right. Also started lengthening the fuel lines.

Fuel sending unit lengthened and installed, fuel lines all ran and hocked up, took the hitch back off and sanded and painted it with industrial paint. Fuel tank has to come back down to put the hitch back on because you can't get your hands in the frame to position the nuts/keepers for the hitch bolts and you defiantly can't do it when the body's on. Monday straighten up the wires and fuel lines, take the tank back down put up the hitch, reinstall the tank and transfer the fuel from the 12 into the Ex, fire her up and driver off the frame rack and set the body on the frame.

Still working on wiring. Got most of the Ex wiring wired back into the 12. Just have rear wiper, 12v outlet on one side, power for the rear heater/ac fan. Mounted the extra fuse box for those items and all the add accessories. All the DVD players, back up lights, will be coming from the fuse box. It has a hot lead right from the battery 125 amps, and grounding lead to the body and spots to hook up grounds. It's mound underneath the dash right next to where the wiring harness leaves threw the fire wall.

Took my extra fuse box back out so I could split the fuse in half. So I have 6 hot at all times and 6 with hot in the key on position. Had to do this with a relay. I also wired in some more stuff.
Back of fuse panel opened up.
