Looky there.

That looks gorgeous! What is the height drop you have it at? Also, are you still planning on doing the C-notch, or has that idea come and gone?

7" rear drop and definitely a c notch is going in, only have 2" of clearance from axle to frame with bed on it.

Looks just right!

[GR8-68]

Thanks guys, once the motor and transmission are set back in it should be right where I want it AN lines and fittings were ordered this morning, I think I have hit the expense phase of this project

[hewittca]

That's looking so good! I'm excited to see what it looks like once it settles with the motor weight and front end back on. And nice job on aligning the bed! I see a lot of trucks with misaligned beds.

Thanks Corey, misalignment drives me crazy, I can't handle it Hoping to have the motor and tranny back in and bolted down in about a month.

Some more prizes came in today

What kind of oil pan did you get? Looks nice.

Same here. It's the first thing I notice on a truck if the bed is misaligned.

Think you'll make it to the first Kernersville cruise? I'm hoping to as well but I keep running into setbacks. We'll see.

I am not sure that I will, still quite a bit of work to do. I do not really want to start driving it until it is complete or it won't get finished

Projects like this may be finished, but they are never done!

[GR8-68]

Transmission has arrived to the new donor.

That is one heavy beast though

[GR8-68]

Pump is mounted and now installed, used an aeromotive pump, holley fuel tank bulkhead with rubber grommets and bolts from lowes. For a total cost of about 210.00

[rusty76]

Awesome. I can't wait to see this beast up and running.

[nlped]

Larry,

Will it be EFI? Or a carb?

[GR8-68]

Was going to do a carb originally but now have decided to go with Holley sniper system, so yes efi.

[GR8-68]

Tracking bar finally came in and got it mounted, ready to set it down and get it adjusted.

[kehstr]

what brand is the track bar?

CPP deluxe trac bar. . Much better as it bolts from trailing arm to stock frame point.

[nlped]

I had that same track bar on my last truck. I had the huge diff cover too and it worked like a charm. I had to get a custom PB bar for Walter though due to the dropmembers.

[hewittca]

That's a neat looking track bar. I may have to get me one of those. Does it adjust up at the stock mount end? And does it come with a spacer for the left trailing arm to match the bracket on the right side?
