Last look before paint, dropped off at painters
runs and drives. Power disc brakes at all 4 corners, power steering, fuel injection, automatic overdrive, and about 300 hp. the suspension in the front is VERY stiff, so I think I will swap out for some softer springs. A few other odds and ends and bugs to work out, but it runs and I am happy.

Something waited on is something more treasured once delivered.
Interesting story about Giant Bicycle Co in China. They developed a fitting system that was put in place in each bicycle shop. A buyer would sit on the adjustable fitting bike and have it custom fitted to them. They would then select the color, decals, etc and the shop owmer would press a button and the whole order was transmitted directly to the factory. The bike was built and ready to deliver in one day...BUT they did not ship it for two weeks because they wanted the buyer to "anticipate" the delivery and appreciate it more once it arrived. Cool story.
Where this all goes awry is when the anticipated delvery date is missed, hopefully your shop will keep to schedule. Good luck, that will be one fine truck.
