Woah! Talk about 'Back in Black'! Truly sorry to hear about the fire, but it looks like you found a way to turn it around into something even better - that engine looks GREAT! Obviously you are blessed with a great wife and friends to support you and keep you motivated. Can't wait to see it all finished up!

Thank you Adam! Everyone is loving the black! I thought the black carbuertor was a great touch too! Just trying to make it to the finish line 10 years in the making!

Unfortunately my grill had to be taken back off to install the AC Unit. Luckily! My co-worker builds at least 2-3 of this trucks a year! Don't think I could have completed this thing without him! NO! I know I couldn't have!

Belt on and I changed the remote power steering for a canister style. Didn't know what I was getting years ago! Lol! Changed my steering column out for a factory version as well. Now I have back up and neutral safety switch connections....

Sits perfect for me! Look great with the rear bumper!

Everything looks great, it looks like the panhard bar needs to come down on the drivers side so it is more horizontal.

Thanks Scott! We did some adjusting while it was in the air but final adjustments will be done tomorrow now that it back in the ground. I researched a few pages and put my rear shocks on the outside. Was a little Leary but it seems to work great. Haven't tested it driving it. Saw a few forum member do it that way? What's your thoughts?

I guess try and run it that way, but if the rear seems a little loose you might have to end up having the relocate the drivers side down a bit.

It might even sit higher on one side and cause it to have the notorious lean to the bed.

The guy that's helping my complete my truck is more of a factory build person instead of all the custom things. So it's new to him. Some if these parts and issues are his first experience. So it's a learning process. Just don't want to bd out of any more uneccearry issue.
