Got a few things done today. The Boyd's Welding fuel tank is drilled and ready for installation after the suspension is complete. The engine is ready to be pulled, but the weather was nasty here today, so I am going to try and get it out in the morning. Progress has been achieved!

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
 

A little progress...

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
 

More progress today. Removed the front cross-member, steering box and master cylinder this afternoon. Also had an important part arrive, my Classic Instruments gauge cluster came in. Pics...

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
 

I love the cluster. Nice work on the engine bay clean out too. Just a matter of time now:)

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
 

dash cluster is a bomb and you've gotta love all that space under the hood. keep it up

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
 

Cross-member and motor mounts installed. Steering and brakes are next, need to order brake calipers and a steering box...

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
 

Love the truck and patina! Nice progress and plans!

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
 

looking good!! cant wait to watch along the way..

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
 

I'm subbed for this one -- that patina is awesome. And I really like those caps -- you plan on running the same ones after your 5-lug swap?

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
 

Took the day off today, I was beat from the cross-member swap, more to come in a few days!

I will be selling the wheels/caps as soon as I get the swap done and the tires off. Seems to be a good bit of interest in them...;)

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
 

Looks nice, that is a clean truck to start with!

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
 

Great progress!!!! Now hurry up.......:sexy:.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
 

SWEET TRUCK, i cant wait to see it come together !

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
 

Installed the new instrument cluster and truck tilt...

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
 

I'm not a big fan of aftermarket steering wheels in these trucks but yours looks pretty good!

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
 

Keeping the original steering wheel?

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
 

the new gages and steering wheel look nice, by the look of the pile of parts something big is going to happen soon. Looks great so far

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
 

Nah, it's pretty cracked. I am also not a small man so the smaller wheel will give me some room.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
 

Tried to finish up the front end today. Ran into a problem with the idler arm, had to order a different one. Anyway, I did get the bearings packed and the rotors installed.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
 

I have also been working on my rally wheels and have the fronts done. Just need trim rings. Will finish the rear tomorrow...
