I'm beat. I think I'll catch some Z's. Also, my exhaust guy said he would be able to get my exhaust done either this weekend or Monday. Might do a few little things next week, and I hope to be ready to head to Chuck's on the 19th!

I think you can get that punch list done with time to spare, are you moving the main battery to the bed or is this an aux battery for the air ride?

The headers fit great with lots of room. I'll post some pics of the exhaust after I get it.

I picked up a driveshaft i was planning to use today, and it is the same length as the one I have, so I guess I'll have to find one somewhere. I would think that one from a v8 truck with a turbo 350 will fit, but I wonder what years? Or if there are any other vehicles that might work.

I've got pics! Yes that is Chuck in the fender well!:lol: As you can see in the bed we put the battery and compressor relays in an old tool box Matt had on a piece of sub floor until he picks out some bed wood. The tool box Idea was cool I think it looks good!

First start video for the win!
Great progress and a very happy moment for you im sure.
Whats the deal with the belt was the alternator not adjusted properly or is the pully slightly out of alignment?

Man, I went to bed early last night, and just caught the vid this morning. It made putting water taps in in this cold weather feel a little better! I couldn't have any of this without you guys from the board, especially Rus, Chuck, Jeff, and the rest of the Mid Tn crew. Its amazing how people I didn't even know before a few months ago are like family now, heck, y'all ARE family. Thanks everyone. Lol I guess hearing that thing run brought a tear to my eye, and when I saw our reflections in that air tank I just got emotional.
