Re: 1971 Stepside LS Build

ou've got to be getting very close to "drive" time on this build???
Good observation fine sir. I have to finish the following:

1. Complete brake line bending and install
2. Bleed brakes
3. Brake pedal install and modification for booster attachment
4. Gear oil put in rear end
5. Drive shaft painted and secured
6. Complete steering wheel install
7. Check all steering torque settings (really everything under the truck)
8. Hope it all works

I made this list since you got me thinking about it. Wonder what I am missing. Oh, I need good weather for sure. Probably be April before I actually get to do the maiden voyage at the pace I'm going.
