It moves!!!
My wife (Randysgal's) truck moves under it's own power. For the first time in four years I actually backed it out of the garage last night. Now all it needs is the brakes hooked up.
 The e-brake works fine.

Flames are definatley in the plans, but I can't let the cat out of the bag yet. I have something wild planned for this one.
Short Fleet- Good luck dude, there's definately light at the end of the tunnel when you finally get to hear it run for the first time.

After 4 years she has forgotten all about that truck. Lets say I come down there and take it off your hands before she remembers and you have to finish it!!!!!
Good job keep us posted.

Randy, that is really starting to take shape as a real head turner. And with that motor in there, it should be a real tire burner too. Looking good, keep us up to date with all progress

It brakes!! Thanks Richard!
Yep, it's a floor mounted Lokar, took about 15 minutes to install. LOL, you noticed that eh Bill? I've been meaning to remove the column shifter but I'm too lazy to do more than one thing in a day.

Looks and sounds I'm sure, good Randy. So which gear shift does she get to use column or floor?

First time it's been on the pavement since I drove it home.
