Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Got a few things done today. The Boyd's Welding fuel tank is drilled and ready for installation after the suspension is complete. The engine is ready to be pulled, but the weather was nasty here today, so I am going to try and get it out in the morning. Progress has been achieved!

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I'm subbed for this one -- that patina is awesome. And I really like those caps -- you plan on running the same ones after your 5-lug swap?

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I'm not a big fan of aftermarket steering wheels in these trucks but yours looks pretty good!

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
the new gages and steering wheel look nice, by the look of the pile of parts something big is going to happen soon. Looks great so far

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Nah, it's pretty cracked. I am also not a small man so the smaller wheel will give me some room.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Tried to finish up the front end today. Ran into a problem with the idler arm, had to order a different one. Anyway, I did get the bearings packed and the rotors installed.
