Thanks for looking in, Clem. I've been trying to get as much prep work done while the weather is good and accumulating parts for assembly when the rains come.

Thanks for looking in, man. It was great meeting up with you at Greg's. Let's see that build thread started on yours.

Thanks, Siggy. I'm just moving the mounts slightly further apart. I probably could have made due where they were but it just didn't work for me. I'll post some more pics as I do the modification and set the radiator in.
I ordered some 3/8" SS tubing for my fuel line from the tank to the fuel pump. I will run the stainless the length needed along the frame rail with a filter inline and the connections from the stainless to the pump and tanks will be flex lines using Aeroquip Startlite hose and -an fittings to allow for movement and vibrations. I want to get the SS line attached on the frame rail before putting the cab back on. I hope that the tubing shows up before my next days off so I can get that done and then put the cab on the following weekend. I also ordered enough of the tubing to do my trans cooler lines in the same way, hard lines with flex lines on the ends for connections. I'm still trying to decide on electric cooling fans. I don't want to spend a bunch, and I'm having a hard time trusting the cheaper ones. I wanted to find a Taurus or Lincoln fan but they are too thick to work for me. I am thinking about going with 2 12" fans rather than one 16" fan so if one fan fails I will have a back up. I am open to any comments or ideas on what might be best.
