Post-holiday progress is slow!

But it's still progress!!
I got the driveline back from South Bay Driveline today & it fits perfectly. For all of you guys in California....I dropped it off at 8a and they called me at 11a to let me know it was done! I had the driveline from the F150 engine/trans donor truck, so they cut it down & put the right yoke on the end for the 9" rear-end. They do a really good job!



I also have a little progress on the serpentine belt system. I bought a March A/C eliminator bracket from Summit....it'll let me put a tensioner up where the A/C used to be & run my really simple system (only an alternator and a water pump). (that's not the right tensioner....I have to pick one up at the local auto store for an 86-93 Mustang).



Floorboard mods and steering are going to be next!

It looks like some good progress to me. I know it seems slow, but one day, before you know it, it'll all come together. Keep up the good work!

Looks like you might be driving your truck before I fix mine.

Southbay Driveline is great! I had a similar experience with them.
