He hit second pretty hard and almost took out the air compressor! We better get some harnesses in this thing before any more test drives!

Shouldn't you be working or something? Thanks for checking back in.

Paul,

Thanks for the kind words. Congrats to you and your Dad for getting the shop open. We really want to get the truck painted locally just for ease of logistics. If we can't make that happen, you guys are on the short list. My Dad has friends in Ann Arbor that he visits periodically. How far are you guys from there?

Probably the first of many times, but the new motivation was set between the frame rails today. What a sense of satisfaction! We had to build a bracket to lift with. With the tranny and acc. drive installed, the regular load leveler would not work. Check it!







The lift bracket.



Now that we have it in the chassis, we will be measuring for the drive shaft and the new firewall. We have also decided to change the motor mounts on the chassis. We have a few ideas as to hiding things in the engine bay. This will require changing the mounts. Stay tuned, more to come on that. Now time to relax. Enjoy.

Chad that sure does look sweet in there! Nice work on the lift bracket. You could lift the whole truck with that one. Nice.

Hey Chad, how is the truck coming along? Its been a couple months since any updates. Should be painted and down the road by now right?

Hey, what bracket are you running on the A/C comp? Is it available separate from whatever front drive that is?
