The Brown Truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I spent yesterday getting ready to test fire the motor. I installed a drain plug/temp gauge fitting on the transmission, filled all fluids, checked all hoses, etc. but couldn't get it to start. Turns out that I didn't have the fuel pump installed correctly (which is strange because I've done these a bunch of times). At the end of the day, I managed to get it pumping fuel. We'll see if I can fire her up this week.

Things are moving forward at the body shop, so hopefully there will be some progress soon.
