Thanks, man. How's the blue truck coming? I've noticed you picking up some parts over on the parts thread.

Thanks. I've been keeping an eye on your thread, also. This part of the job is my least favorite but I'm doing as much as I can myself. I wish I knew a little more about it but I'm learning as I go and still having fun.
I've been trying to do a little more on the chassis as I strip, sand, and prime body parts. Sometimes I just need a little break.
Today I bolted up the starter motor and I also had to trim the flexplate cover just a little bit where it goes around the starter. I also installed the trans dipstick and the mounting plate for my shifter. I did some preliminary measuring of where I want the shifter hole in the hump. I also measured and drilled a couple of new mounting holes in the crossmember for the driveshaft carrier bearing mount. I'll save pictures of that for when I install the driveshaft.
I also removed the lower radiator mounts and I'm going to reattach them in a better location for the radiator. They were just a little too close to the trans cooler hook up and lower radiator hose for my liking.
