Hey Jetman, you moved twice and still have the truck? That is great news, doesn't always end up like that for some of us here.
Hope you can continue where you left off, you were doing great and the 51 will be happy to be rolling along on those roads again soon.
Keep us posted on the next stages of build,
Tom

Thanks, Tom! I have begun working the front fenders. They have rust damage near the connection between the running boards; however, it will be a fun job. Stay tuned

Jetman that engine bay looks great. Did you consider putting in a vacuum brake booster? Looks like there maybe room for a small one? Or do you have a cam in that engine that would have low vacuum?
Is that black box behind the battery a fancy voltage regulator?

Oh, and don't forget to put in the square air deflectors that attach between the top of the radiator and the inner fenders on each side before you get any further. They are a wicked beech to put in after the fender is bolted on. Ask me how I know....
