I see you have a 292 emblem on the fender. Is that the Cubic inch equivalent of 4.8 liters?

You should be driving by Labor Day, for sure.
Thank you. Yes it's nice to actually put parts on the truck. I have had them stashed in the corner under sheets. I nicked and scuffed them here and there nothing major for a nice driver. It will need a full detail by the time I'm ready to drive it.

Nice catch on the engine badging. I went back and forth on this, thought about making custom badges but decided not to. I have been catching some crap about it from my boys but I like it. I'm sure the inline 6 guys won't like it either but hey, it's a little different. And yes 4.8 liters = 292.9 Cubic inches. I know I rounded down but it is what it is......
