Then me and a Jiffy marker sat on a stool in front of the truck and I just started writing down what needed to be completed. You know, engine compartment, Cab exterior, Cab interior and so on. By god I should have done this along time ago. Wiper mock up and install - check, master cylinder - check, hanging brake pedal - check, shoulder belt mounts - check. If this keeps up I will have all the mock up done by mid summer. Just in time to strip it all apart and ship it to the body man for final bodywork and paint. It just might work...Best part is I try not to start something else until the one Im working on is complete and it works.



LOL,,, I started a "things to do" list but as it grew and grew it began to scare me so I threw it away and have just decided to putter until I run out of parts. Hopefully buy that time I will have a running truck.

HA I knew I couldnt be the only one scared of " The List". Again not trying to hijack the thread but as I kept coming up with stuff to do and figuring most items will take a minimum of 2 hours to complete, I figure I should be at Jeffs stage of the build in about 2 years or so. :-banghead Really though it helps keep me focused. And now back to our regularly scheduled programming, The Jeff and Nichole Build - of which I am a regular viewer... Keep it coming. Its great to see other peoples take on these builds...

Handy work Jeff!

Q- need the Orange to win again to redeem my bracket choices - since those slugs at Kansas gave away the game to Michigan last night.

What angle did your upper 4 link bars come out too? And what length bars did it come out too?

Jeff, it really looks great. It is nice to save something that once upon a time you probably didn't think that you could. I have been there before, but with less daunting projects than you have now accomplished. Nice!
