My wife has also given me a deadline for having this truck done. She wants it in the Christmas parade this year. Our next slow spell should be in October, will be cutting it close I think.
And, my parts closet for this truck. I actually sort of inventoried it this weekend. I got a lot of junk it seems in a short time span. I also have a make shift testing bench for radios. I've been on the hunt for a factory electronic radio for the 87 era. So far I've gotten 3 from the salvages, and everyone has been inop. I'm about to give up and cut my dash hole bigger and put the factory suburban radio out of a 91 model.
I did get my air cleaner back, sent one out to be powder coated. Now I wish I would have sent the core support as well. Still might I guess.
