Ran into a snag . Motor mounts were welded in 3/4 " to far forward . This would not allow me to get the water pump and fan installed . Back to the chassis shop for thr mounts to be cut out and moved . Also had a few other things done . Had hooks weled to the frame to strap truck down , panels made for speakers in rear cab corners , battary tray cut out & a set of universal traction bars cut up and welded to the rear shock mounts . Pics to follow .

Got the motor back in . been a busy weekend so far .

looks good!

Got some time to workon this . I dont think im going to have it ready for the season opener , but im trying .

This is the material for the interior . I am having the door panels , seat , kick panels redone .


I got the cooling system completed yesterday . I bypassed the cable heater block valve , as i have never had one that didnt leak . I added a manual valve for summer when the air is on . Got the Condensor and liquid line filter drier mounted and hooked up . All that is left is the compressor mount and hook ups for A/C . Well enough talk here is the current picks .

Looking good. That front bumper looks nice.
