looking good!!

 

I think that truck is the most beautiful thing i have ever seen. Really.

 

Thanks.
Would be posting progress pics but the camera batteries quit taking a charge.
The truck is coming along slowly but at least its coming together.

I'm surprised at how long all the little things take to get just right.

 

Progress Pics

Here's some pictures taken over the weekend. I'm on my 2nd radiator overflow bottle that leaks, so that will have to come back out. I spent most of sunday getting the gauge cluster ready, still needs a little work and I want it in for the initial start up to help monitor the engine. I'm going with the idiot light set up and AutoMeter oil pressure / water temp gauges. Still up in the air where exactly to mount the gages, any ideas?

MSD Distributor installed
MSD Plug wires installed
Throttle and Transmission Cable installed
Yellow Optima battery and cables installed
Moroso air cleaner installed

 

Still More Progress

Finally got around to installing the grill and head light surrounds. Lately (depending on the weather) I've been jumpin all around the truck workn on different things. I have started it up and taken it on a short drive with open headers, tryn to work out a few bugs.

I feel like I'm rounding the corner with this project but I know it will never be completely finished.

 

It's Been Awhile

I decided to upgrade the axles, wheels, tires and liftkit.
There now resides under the rear of the truck a 3/4 ton, 14bolt with 410 gears.
The front is a 3/4 ton 10bolt with matching 410 gear. The wheels are made by WELD and are 16.5 x 14. Tires are Super Swamper Boggers and are 16.5 x 18.5 x 39.5.
To make all this work the 6 inch lift had to come out and in went a 12 inch by SuperLift.

Let me know what ya'll think.

Thanks,
