Well, I did end up getting the heads back before Thanksgiving, but the assembly didn't get finished up till Christmas break.

Anyways, I got in my first successful test drives in the day after Christmas venturing out a bit further after each return trip home. I made a trip to the parts store to get some coolant to top off the radiator...I think it took me 30 minutes to get out of there. I still have a long list of things to do but for now, I think I'll mostly drive it. Come spring I'll be back at it with a couple small things done between now and then.

Here's a short video I put together:

Your truck turned out really well. The stance and ride height is perfect. Sounds perfect too. From following your build and because of your engineering skill, I knew it would be awesome. That's a project to be proud of, for sure. Good job!!!
