I love this build, I am pro-restore as opposed to pro-new.
Not that I have anything against newer trucks, but re-doing old trucks has many benefits.
Nothing like working on your own truck and making it what you want, I'm sure many would argue it's better than new!
I wish I had the time, and tools, ( and skills
) to do projects like this. 
I am planning on building a custom truck, but it won't be a "mistress", it will probably have to be named after my wife if I want to live, lol

Well this weekend while I was at the Supernationals I discover a fuel leak under the Mistress. So tonight I tore her down and I think it is the fuel pressure sensor. I made a call to a good friend in West Virginia for some help, because I found another problem with the wiring harness to the fuel bowl.
All tore down.
I found it to be worse than I thought after getting off the phone with Bill.
Harness is all melted together. i am glad that the fuel leak happen this could have burn the truck down.
I had another harness off my Father-N-laws truck so I am going to use it. With the help of Bill I have eliminated the fuel bowl heater,fuel pressure sensor and the water in fuel sensor all the harness has now is the IPR in it.
Had to make a small repair on this harness with some shrink wrap, it had some wire showing.
The truck had a miss in it for a while and this may have been the problem.
I want to Thank Bill for his help he is the man.
