Here's a few more pics or the recent work done.OEM rad support ! Was in good shape rust wise,did need bodywork as it was out of an an ambulance and must of hit something in its previuos life.(hopefully not on the way to emergency)
Also a couple pics of the firewall finally painted.Alot of work went into welding and smoothing it.Im glad the time was taken to go the extra mile here,It will be worth it in the end.I added a couple nuts to the top of Captains booster bracket so I can cap it once the assembly is complete.
I'm considering running the wiper valance without the rubber to firewall to hood strip,not really sure its necessary.
I'm currently in the process of welding and smoothing the bumper bolts but have heard a few stories of bumpers done this way before and the chrome cracked at a few of the welds,so anyone who wants to give their input here will be appreciated.Maybe Ill scrap the idea if its a loosing venture.
Just so I dont look like Ive been sitting around on my a$$ doing nothing..., I have decided against the 283 sb build for my truck,now going with a full roller 383 .More torqe more hp and will make more sense with the 700r4 and 308's behind it.
A couple more pics of the from the other side of the shop,sometimes its hard to believe its the same truck !
