Thanks nuke. The window kit looks really good and is awesome, as long as it's installed by someone else.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
More pictures... I set the seat in and bolted it through one of the original holes on each side. It's going to get mounted soon, when it goes to the upholstery shop to get the floor carpet, tank carpet, custom kick panel carpet covers, custom door panels made and installed.
The motor pictures are my new valve covers my wife surprised me with for my birthday. They came from pmlcovers.net, AKA Moe's Performance. I picked up the air cleaner from O'Reilly's and just set it on top for the picture. I need to do the throttle linkage before I mount it for good. Slowly getting there. Ok... is it me or is the picture attachment function not working? |

It's not working. Photobucket linked works but the attachments aren't right now.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
The truck will really be slowing now.... Last Thursday, October 22 , at 6:19 PM we have a new addition to the family. Our new daughter, Madison Lynn, joined us very healthy, weighing 7 pounds and 12 ounces. She was 19 inches long.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
Looking at the valve covers; what provision do they have for breather/pcv/oil fill

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
They're machined on the top of each side above the "C" area. It's a flush fitting breather plug, PCV has the hole and grommet, I just haven't finished the rest.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
I finally have some "good times" in the truck. I installed the radio tonight. I need to put the knobs on and check over everything but it sounds decent. It's the retrosound radio with a chrome face and I only put the double 4 1/2 speaker setup under the dash which is good enough for me and my wife to hear. If you're in a car next to me.... get your own radio, haha. I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
I'm assuming the previous owner had put a long tail automatic tranny in my truck before I bought it. Since it was such a wreck with no motor or trans I'm not sure. I put a short tail TH400 and the drive shaft I had was a little short. I had a new one made thats a weee bit larger, haha. I'll probably put the other on in the classifieds for anyone wanting to convert to a one piece and running a long tail trans. Here's a few pictures, notice a difference in size?

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
Ok, I know this is going to shock everyone.... I actually did a little work on it tonight. It's probably at lease 3-4 months since I touched it. Tonight I was working on the trottle linkage. I used a 6cyl rod, cut it down, and threaded it. Then using a universal cable kit, I robbed a few connection pieces from it. I'll have to check it out better in daylight and make sure everything is good on it. Here's a few pictures, not the best but they'll do.
