Progress... frame stripped, primed, and painted, 8v71 Detroit and RTO-9513/T-1138 Transfer case installed with three new drive shafts... Brakes freshened up and new brakelines run to convert to a dual line with hydraboost. Got the cab to fit in the stock location over that big Lump-o-motor... Gonna need some more massaging on the firewall to get the valve covers off... I am considering a tilt front end for serviceability

Can you say DogHouse LOL at least access to the Air compressor and PS pump will be easy...

Now things should pick up speed...
