Oh and almost forgot installed some cheapbay block hugger headers, surprisingly they are well built, and didn't have to "modify" them to fit.

Installed a reman power steering pump, and polished some brakes, I'm polishing all every bracket that is visible in the engine bay when the body and interior are done, so far a mild polish turn the old metal to chrome, I even polished the PS pulley, looks better in person than in pics.

Love the pole barn/garage area. That would be great place to hang on nice days and do truck stuff.
