Last fall I worked on the bed and tailgate a bit
Then it got cold so I moved to the garage w/the engine & tranny. Got both installed in the last few months. Install new radiator and routed new lines to the transmission cooler in radiator and eliminated this old cooler/heat exchanger on the side of the tranny:
Drive train in:
I Also installed front disc brakes from speedway (no photos). Easy install and great price.
Frame/drive-train is all but done minus exhaust system, not to mention it's warmed up again so time to get back to bodywork and paint. So I built a paint booth:
With the paint booth being under my carport in the back yard, I needed a dolly for my cab with wheels that would roll in my rocked landscape, so I built one:
So that's where I'm at now...bodywork and paint should be the next updates:(
I've planned all along to install the made to fit a/c, heat & defrost system from vintage air, except each time I go to order it I talk myself out of it and keep looking around at other options. Haven't found a more economical solution yet and pretty much need to pull the trigger on it so I can modify my cab prior to paint for the new box...just hate to spend that much $ at once on this old truck.
Speaking of $$....I have purposely not kept track of the $ expended for this hobby...just thrown all the receipts in a box....well I kinda went through that box the other day...mistake!
More updates to come....
