Radiator is mounted. I'm going to shove a artec quart crate between it and the fuel cell, then a couple of batteries are going to be mounted right behind the cab.

Thanks






Balls deep in a transmission mess right now. Had a 2wd th350 laying around that I'm using for the case, bought 4wd th350 with a busted bellhousing for the output shaft/adapter, and bought a t-case at a swap meet.

Also ordered a 5 gear planetary set and a ring gear for a 700r4 to stuff in it, which will give me a lower first gear ratio. It'll be buttoned up with a hughes rebuild kit, tci valve body and a deep pan that I've had laying around for years

Couldn't really tell you. I bought the hughes rebuild kit, the valve body, the deep pan, and a shifter for it a few years ago, back when it was going to be a drag truck. The planetary set and ring gear cost me $150. This will be my first wheeling rig with an auto, hopefully it's worth the hassle :egeek

Haven't had much time to work on it this week. Did manage to get the drivers side door bars and seat mount in.

Image

Yes the door bars aren't much fun to climb over. No I'm not real excited to be running the kirkeys, nothing else will fit.

Floor/tunnel is pretty much finished, minus a lot of welding/grinding. Been busy playing with dirtbikes, haven't touched this in a couple weeks. Tunnel is removable

Butchered some door bars for the passenger side. Then rolled it outside to sweep and let the truck enjoy western washingtons one day of summer
