No progress to report unless you call ordering a gasket set for the 292 and motor mounts for it as progress.

I'm thinking that I am going to use the long bed frame I have and run a flatbed with the cab I have so that my chassis work on the frame doesn't have to be redone if I get my cab that I really want for my long planned build to the point I can swap cabs. It's not too spendy to build an 8 ft flatbed if I don't get carried away with fancy wood and I can put it to use somewhere else later.

I'm still up in the air on using the Jag crossmember I have as apposed to MII

The sun is shining but it is 30 degrees out right now.
