Got my motor in
 Well after owning the truck for a year and making very little progress I got the engine and transmission stabbed. Only hang up was that the PO left 6 cylinder mounts in it. Well I was lucky enough to working in sameyrasmea72's shop so while the motor was still hanging from the cherry picker but in the truck we swapped out to v8 mounts from the pile of them he had in the corner and got her sat in there. I have alot of odds and ends to tie up but I should have her on the road in a couple of weeks. I am starting to get over my body man fiasco and get excited again.
