I took Friday off so I can get some more done. I have an 8 month old, so time is at a premium and I hate sticking my wife with him all weekend while I spend it working on the truck and not helping out! So Friday she has work and we are stuck paying for daycare anyhow, so I'll be up and at it around 5am and should get a solid 12 hours in on her.

Goal 1 was to get here running decent and stopping - Check
Goal 2 was source an interior and seat belts so the little guy can go for rides - Check
Goal 3 is fixing all the rust issues - In Progress
Goal 4 is swapping out the 454/400 combo with a 6.0LS and 4L80E combo

Somewhere down the line I'll throw some paint on it. I am hoping to do the engine swap this year, but it may have to wait until next year. I need to get the current engine listed for sale and see if I can get any bites on it to help finance the new one!
