Pre-flight safety check? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm hopefully about to taker 'er out for an actual street drive soon (6 miles to the muffler shop will be a loud 6 miles

). Any ideas on things to check before I leave the subdivision? I've put in a crate 350 and 700r4; the cab and bed have been off, etc.

So far my list is:

1. Check bolts for tightness
2. Check lights
3. Brakes brakes brakes
4. Fire extingusher
5. make sure nothing can reach out and touch headers, belts, etc.
6. Plenty of gas, battery, coolant, atf, and oil; tool box in the cab

Also, with no wood or strips in the bed, it's really not bolted down. I figure a couple of tie-down straps around the bed&frame along with bolts through the frame at the rear of the bed should keep her in place?
