Morning Morris, I will still need to install the console and bolt in the seats . I've decided to keep the gauges I have for now to see if I have the problem solved with the speedometer now that I relocated my ignition coil. I unfortunately won't know that until next year now. I may still put in a new stereo over the winter though

There was still patches of snow left after most of it melted a couple days ago but had a half inch fall this morning but it's starting to melt now..
I got the base coat sprayed this morning on my inner fenders..

Good to hear your day is going good. I`m doing great on such a beautiful morning.
I`m so glad we don`t have any snow and the weather is so nice Jon, last of the crops coming off. You`re making good progress on you 56.

Just too bad this all had to be redone but it will drive a lot better with this new suspension..

Heres a better shot of the motors, the dirty one is the 239 out of the 48, runs but is rough due to electrical connections being loose and corroded, transmission is a 4 speed with PTO. The fancy blue one is out of a 54 Mercury, is a 255 that was running but didn't have enough cam for the intake. he stripped it down more than he was supposed to but threw in some extra parts in order to try and balance out the deal. The blue one will get rebuilt and put in the Overland and I'm currently checking out the viability of running a twin turbo set up on it, everybody puts a 471 blower on these things but I'm bored of that setup and would like something different.

Today it's pull the truck out of the shop day so that I have more room and so that I can get it beside the 75 F250 frame and compare them so that I know what all needs to be done to change them over. I might stick my 460 with 5 speed into it as it may be less hassle than going with the 390.
