Overdue progress!!
Been awhile since I made some progress, but here's some pics of finally getting the engine and tranny back in, cab back on, doors and fenders jambed and installed and aligned and finally, the custom fuel cell by "fuelcellguy". Tank is awsome (thanks Mark) and made to my specs and will hold 23 gallons without hanging below the rear bumper.
This is the part where ya start seeing some light at the end of the tunnel and get a little more motivated!! Gotta be on the road this summer and headed for Hot August Nights in Reno!!!! I've had this truck since 90 and haven't driven it for about 6 years!!!
