Thanks guys, appreciate the interest.
Got the rearend all installed and the disc brakes on. Pushed the truck outside tonight and press washed the rear and front frame rails. Also scuffed up a few spots with a wire brush. Will spray bomb the frame tomorrow and move on to the next step.
I know this last year and half has been anything but normal, but Im really disappointed in Holley. We ordered the engine/trans mount kit back in June and they just pushed the estimated ship date out to October. Obviously some of their stuff is made overseas and is hung up over in the ports, but come on man...engine mounts? and trans crossmenbers? That stuff should be sourced here in the USA. We got tired of waiting for them and I contacted Scottie at Tejas metalworks for a crossmember and the fine folks at Metaltek for the engine mounts. I would have used Tejas for both of them, but the Metaltek guys engineered their mounts for a Holley (luckily we got one) shallow pan. I wanted the engine to sit in the truck a little lower and back. Especially needed with the LT valve covers and the brake booster.
Anyway I should be able to post up some pics tomorrow of the rearend and the frame cleaned up.
