Re: Lurker OrrieG Progress Pics

Progress since the last post has been small stuff, plumbed the engine, mounted the alternator and ps pump. hooked up a battery and tested the starter, the donor truck was having issues and I wanted to make sure it was the flywheel teeth and not something else, it worked fine. Other small stuff like heater hose fittings, tranfer case shifter and rods, auto trans filler tube. Have also been back on the cab tuning up the body work, seems like every time I think its done, I find something else I don't like. Nice thing is it has cooled down so the plastic is not flashing in 30 seconds.

I have decided to do the firewall and inner fenders in semi-gloss black so I can keep moving forward with low cost stuff. Tomorrow I plan on painting those plus radiator support and radiator. Then the cabs is going back on. Unfornately primer is all the interior is getting for now till work picks up.
