Thanks for the welcome! It told ya this would be slow

Well another deployment got in the way of progress but I have actually taken the front end off and pulled the motor and transmission. My plans have changed for the moment too. I am getting out of the military at the end of the year and moving back to Texas. The goal right now is to put a new motor and transmission in the truck, redo the braking system, and replace all bushings with a poly kit. I just want to get the truck running now so I can drive it for a few months. Once the move is completed, I'm going to tear it down all over again, paint and powder coat everything, and maybe drop a 5.3 LS in it. But until that happens i'll just post a few new pics...
