56 task force on 80 1/2 ton frame pictures

[56hotrodred]

So I am heading home on Saturday a little bit early as we are expecting our first grandchild! My wife thinks she needs to be around for that and I kind of agree.

In any case while she is up helping with the new baby I am going to have some free time to maybe get the truck fired up for the first time.

What I was wondering: Is there any procedure(s) that I should follow before/after even installing a battery and fuel along with the rest of the fluids?

I am going to prime the engine.

I guess I will need to get a driveshaft built and install so I don't loose all my transmission fluid when I fill it up.

I have never done this complete a rebuild with pretty much everything being new including the engine, transmission rear end and of course the complete AAW wiring harness and Ron Frances Ramjet engine harness.

Any thoughts or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
