After some amateuristic foul-ups this morning - got the motor on its stand and the top end done. Never think you've got your tools until you check it out and verify, prior to starting.

The loss of two of the wing pieces forced me to make a couple out of 1/2" x 1-1/2" bar stock at the shop. it was kind of a nightmare, but I put the engine stand's main strut up on the hoisted engine and then gradually bolted everything together, using grade "8" bolts, washers and nuts.

The next item is the water pump and lower alternator bracket.

I'm converting the truck back to the original voltage regulator and alternator system - based on what I've read in the "Electrical" forum. That may take a bit of doing, but I'll feel a lot more comfortable with the original system and the kit updates.

Not a bad day - just a great deal of time detailing paint and stuff.
