IT'S ALIVE

Just over 5 months after I started this project she's again breathing life. God I love that rumble!

She don't take long to smoke out a 1,000 sq ft shop though that's for sure! Reinstall the carpet/seat inside the cab, bleed the brakes, driveshaft, flatbed and a few minor things to sort out and she'll be hitting the road again. Painting the cab is still on the to-do list but I've spent so much time and money getting it to this point she might be a techni-color primerdonna for a few weeks.

Definately a big thanks to those who've helped me source parts and the bits of tech info here/there!
