Moving forward with vintage air install. Headers on, fired the motor for the first time on Tuesday. Had a slight hiccup from the truck sitting for so long but she purrs like a kitten now. 4l80e dipstick installed. Dropped the pan and everything looks good in the transmission. It’s as advertised and never been ran.

Need to give a big shout out to my friend Travis Utz at Utz speed shop for all his hard work on this truck. He has stepped in and helped me jumpstart getting this truck back on the road as I have had very little time to get anything done on any of my trucks this summer. If you are on the west side of Missouri and need a mechanic Travis is your guy. This whole process has been a challenge from day 1, but things are coming together the vintage air install is all but complete and our new SLOSH TUBZ are installed. I decided to have the underside of the tubs sprayed with bedliner. The US Shift quick 4 standalone controller for the 4l80e is in and wired with TPS sensor and monitor installed. new slip yoke and carrier bearing installed. The exhaust is done, just waiting one a few hoses from vintage air and some transmission lines and the cooler and we will be in business! Gonna be a neat rig to cruise in with the 454/4l80e combo on a 6/8 drop. The front fenders look different because I polished around on them a bit before install. The whole truck should match patina wise once I work the cab and bed over!
