there are a few issues with bed, but I'm satisfied - this is not a trailer queen, it's a driver. The bed rails were wavy as hell, but I worked them really good - not bad for a guy with almost no body work experience.
still needs wet sanded, but I'm very pleased overall

Bed on - I gotta do some cutting on bed cross-member so the damn tank will fit though
Not to bad for doing everything in a driveway and 1 car garage (as we also work on a 69 Camaro).

bed cross member cut out and tank fitted - should work well. It hangs down a little more than I would like, but hey I got a tank.
Also got the transmission crossmember mocked in and measurements on driveshaft.

So work on lucky 13 has stalled for a while. I lost my job for a while, the guy helping me with it lost his job, money was tight, blah blah blah...

Thought I was gonna have to sell the truck, but got a new gig so back to working on it slowly.

Here is where we are now...

I have an engine pic, but it isn't resizing.

all fuel lines and brake lines are ran. I got the booster in yesterday, so I will install that and the proportioning valve tomorrow or the next day.
Also got the power steering pump cleaned up and installed. The pulley was bent, so I am on the search for one. Cleaned the interior floor and such, and I have a few things left to fix before we can paint.
I need a driveshaft and a few other parts, but my hope is to have it on the road by the end of summer.
