Been a very busy day in the shop with lots of progress. I started by tapping all the holes in the frame for the brake lines and the fuel lines as well. With that done I screwed the brackets to the passenger side frame rail that holds the -6 an fuel line fittings. I also took the time to install the fuel pump in the gas tank so I can start making the flexible fuel intake and return lines to it.



I work alone, and got so wrapped up in the process that I never stopped to take pics of the work while doing it. I had a lot to do today and wanted to get some specific things done and needed to just hammer down.

With that out of the way I installed the flex plate to the engine, then the torque converter onto the trans shaft. Then I mated the engine and trans together. I then got them installed in the chassis. Then I unboxed the newly made driveshaft that I custom ordered from Denny's Driveshaft.
Next step was to install the custom exhaust I made a few months ago and had high temp powder coated a charcoal grey.






With all that done I dropped it off of my scissor lift and rolled it outside so I could do a good cleaning of the garage.








I now want to change gears and get going on the cab and bed. So I put the chassis on some skates and rolled it over against the wall for the winter. I covered it to try and keep it somewhat clean while making a mess on other parts.



And with everything all cleaned up for the day and the ground still wet I thought this made for a good picture. This is where I do all the work.
