Re: 4500 mockup begins-eng location ?

bp71k5-

Its just starting to get back on track, although slow. The government sequestration a few years ago left me having to find a new job (not easy after 15 years at my old one!). As a result, I got hired with the Dept of the Marine Corp which came with an internship. Needless to say, the past 2 years I have been working full-time and going to school full-time.

Back to the project- I am starting to piece together the main components (frame, cab, bed, engine, trans, t-case, etc.) just to work out the bugs to make it all play happy together. I just received the AA Adapter Bellhousing this week, so my next step is to bolt the eng/trans/t-case together and set it between the frame rails.

Thanks for asking.
Mike
