Sorry for the delay. Thing have been going a little slow. Not a lot of visual changes. Trying to wrap up some loose ends before paint.

Got the battery mounted under the seat.

The parking brake is mounted. I have to move the fuse block to the passenger side. The cable for the parking brake comes down right through the only place to mount it.

This picture shows the fuse panel on the passenger side. You can also see the Heat/Defrost unit.

Firewall bulkhead for the heater hoses.

I got the Go pedal mounted.

Getting close to ready for paint. Now it all has to come back apart.

We pulled the cab back off for final blocking, etc...

I'll be sure to update as soon as there is something to show.

Here are a few shots of the bed almost ready for paint. We bought new fiberglass fenders for the outside and used the old steel ones on to fab some wheels tubs.

Hopefully this thing will be painted next week.

I'll come paint it for ya, just set me up with airfare and all the beer I can drink.

No wait that would cost you more than the truck is worth.

Could you please post some pictures of the truck getting painted?

I could fly you out here on a private jet and give and a handful of friends all the beer you could drink for what he will have in this truck.

I'll see what I can do.

The frame has been painted. You can see the color of the truck on the rear. You should see it in the sun. The cab and bed are being painted as I type this.

Now comes the fun part, reassembly. I'm starting assembly on the chassis today. More picture to come soon.

Gonna be a sweet color, cant wait for more pics, thanks!

The above picture really doesn't do the color justice. You will be able to see it better once I post some pictures of the cab and bed.

Here are a few cell phone pics of the cab and fenders in the paint booth about to be sprayed.

The frame looks great.

No, the original axle has been replaced with a Dana 60
