Progress Update

Worked on the box body work today; at the point where I will set in on the frame soon to align and drillout mounting holes. I fired the 302 today after getting brakes bled, have small leaks in power steering, pass valve cover and possibley water pump. Least of my concerns at the moment.
Focused now on getting the truck ready for "road test", need to connnect throttle, mount gas pedal. Pics to follow.

Couldn't seem to post pic of box so, pics in gallery under box build. Still need to attach fender bolts, tailight mounts, tailgate hinges, but soon I hope.
