Got the other 2 wheels painted today, I'm going to let the paint cure for several days before taking them down to have the tires mounted. But will definitely get that done next week. I'm really looking forward to getting the over-deep current wheels off the truck.
Installed the shift boot and fuel sender today as well. The boot is great, fits just as I'd hoped. And the fuel gauge now tells me I have just over half a tank, which is about what I expected.
Will pull the carb off to start on the choke conversion probably over the weekend, if other non-truck projects don't take up too much of my time. Definitely no later than Monday...
