Been awhile since I posted and update but I've been going hard at it. Interior is done with the exception of new glass. Rebuilt the 292 this weekend and my father in-law is doing a valve job on the head. Put a Hy-Tork cam from 12Bolt .com in it and replaced all the bearing, rings & gears. The cross hatch pattern looked good on the 33,000 motor, but I ran a bottle brush hone through it for good measure. Had the stepside bed blasted 2 months ago and she's rough but usable.
The original wood bed disenagrated when I dissembled the bed so used some of the fake plastic wood from Home Depot last week end and have everything set in place but not drilled and bolted. TKX 5 speed and a Sniper EFI are on the garage floor awaiting install. Think I have everything in hand to make it run soon but the radiator, electric fan & drive shaft. Interesting side note: No one in my area has the ability to surface a fly wheel. Found a diesel shop in an hour north in Cedar City that will. Strange Days.
