Down to just a few things before I can call her done (for now):
I have to finish powder coating the AC brackets and install
I ended up ordering new exhaust manifolds (my old ones were incorrect and starting to crack) so the new ones will go in, then I can tie in the new exhaust and check that item off the list.
I had to replace the alt bracket, the old one was incorrect. I ended up getting the correct one from Mike Cofield, should be here this week which will allow me to install the alternator.
I need to remove the paint from the top of the grill. I can't stand when people repaint these trucks and get over spray on the chrome.
I've got a few misc odds and ends; wire gutter at core support, PCV grommet, install the missing bumper bolt, replace the front hood bumpers, etc.
Do a final nut and bolt, double check all fluids, and we are ready to break in the cam, final tune, and take her for a spin. Hoping another day or two worth of work and I can bring her back home
