It's alive!
Got her running last night. Very very quiet running, 50 lbs oil pressure, at 600 rpm. I get the driveshaft today. She'll move under her own power today!
Drivetrain done, interior painted, next the exterior!

The Warm temps are running out, so exterior painting this year won't happen, but I may get in some body work and put her away for winter. I have to thank Chuck at Chuck's Trucks for having all I needed right there on the shelf, along with lots of advice, also got the "big stuff" from him....New 239, T-98 syncroed tranny, Ford power brakes, Eaton 2-sp rear end, upper and lower front fenders. this is a 2005, 1949 F-5!
