Thanks Alan, I made the fuel line extra long for first time start up, it's not even tightened yet. Just wanted to leave enough line for final routing. I will probably run it outside the frame rail on the first start up.

**66ChevyMax** · 02-06-2012, 10:23 AM

That will be a great day, of course we will never be finished

The front crossover is in place which includes the steam line. The rear ports are blocked off if I remember correct, I will look again tonight but I'm pretty sure they are blocked off.

The rear ports for the crossover are blocked off.

Shop has been cold and waiting on parts. Did get ride height sensors connected.

**66ChevyMax** · 02-16-2012, 10:53 PM

Installed temp sensor from dakota gauges in rear port on the passenger side. Left stock sensor in stock location which will allow the ECU to control the fan.

Waiting to get the radiator back from shop, then it will be time to fire the puppy up!

McMurphy · 02-17-2012, 03:03 PM

Oh sweetness, you are close!!

I hope the amount of time, money, and effort you have put into this is surpassed only by the satisfaction you get when you finally get to drive it!!

And a few compliments from pretty girls wont hurt either !!!

I am still a loooooong ways off from turning a key on mine!

**66ChevyMax** · 02-20-2012, 11:39 PM

Drive shaft came in today, drivetrain is complete. Should get the radiator back this week.

**66ChevyMax** · 02-20-2012, 11:40 PM

Here is the details for the Filter/Regulator,

**66ChevyMax** · 02-20-2012, 11:42 PM

Had another 65mph dust storm today which filled the shop with dust, *&%#@ gonna be a tough spring this year.

Took off early today, weather was beautiful, made some progress

Got the radiator install and test fit the inner & outer finder. Clearance is good with suspension on the bump stop.

**66ChevyMax** · 03-15-2012, 10:54 PM

Also pieced together the exhaust on the passenger side back to the cross member.

Thanks for checking in. I should be able to spend more time on the truck and I am really looking forward to the warmer weather.
