Jim,
A while back I gave Brian (Griff442) the measurements for the trim studs. If I can't find the measurements that I sent him, I'll get you the measurements today either way. .

Jack, that would be great. This way when the weather breaks in a few weeks, and I can get them welded on.

Here are a few pictures of one side of the rotisserie. I am sure it is making sense now.

That is great! I looked around on craigslist for a while to get the design I have to cut up for the rotisserie. The kind that the legs slid into each other. Harbor Freight sells a different design, the legs just fold up, less steel in the design. :| But I do love me some HF.

Yeah and week now we will have 50-60 degree days and I be on my way to doing things.

I am interested in seeing that K5 2wd conversion. I don't know if you have a thread on one of the squarebody forums or not. :?:

JAck, thanks for those dimensions.

Well, I have a running shopping cart on RockAuto, Summit, Speedway, Kirbans, ughh. Money is adding up fast. But, I need to get these things figured out and ordered.

I made a little progress on my rotisserie.

we have some nice weather today in Pennsylvania, so I finished the other base, & I primed and painted everything.

I did make more progress on these. Only had a few hours yesterday to get some things done. The weather went strait to shitty cold again. :x
