Re: 1947 Panel Truck Frame swap with ’88 k2500

I got the heater installed. I put a gallon of coolant in the radiator and had to get some distilled water. Put a gallon of water in still needed more fluid. Got another gallon of coolant, still not full. Checked the dipstick, oil level didn’t go up. Finally another half gallon of water topped it off.
I got the cowl vent back in, the electric wiper motor and wiper transmission arms in place. A bunch of the wires connected through the firewall, and the original key switch and foot button starter switch wired to relays. And I found the 4x4 wiring harness, so that will get connected today.
I went to the Monroe swap meet but didn’t look too hard. My 8yo son wanted to find toys but there was no toy barn this time. I did find this Panel truck piggy bank. It’s such a nice looking paint scheme, but my plan is to paint it like I will the real thing just to get an idea of how it will look.
