Got the motor & trans set down in the frame (mock up), had to dimple the #1 primary tube to clear the motor mount bracket. Now I gotta hack up my brand new trans crossmember to work on my Tremec TKO trans :smoke:

Sold a "Blam-blam" I wasn't using. Drove 250 miles each way (to SF, CA) to collect the dough so I can buy some wheels.

Welded the burb's hood hinge back together. Much better having two hinges vs one and an arm/stick holding up the hood.

Fabricated and connected my 1972 steering column to my 2001 power rack and pinion.

I really didn't want to take this to the "other gearhead" thing of mine. I shouldn't have said anything non-truck. But.........

Bought some upper/lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rod ends, and some drop shocks for the front end rebuild. I will start that on Monday. Chopped up a 92 s-10 blazer bumper to make a gravel guard that goes all the way across the rear bumper. Turned out good. Installed the toggle/kill switch for the HEI.

i hear that the chrome ones have less of a life span since the chrome keeps the heat in more than the natural cast ones
