Chalky finally made his maiden voyage....straight to my new buddy Ben's shop, Davis Performance. It was a fun 3 mile drive with no kick down cable connected (uphill was fun!). Amazingly he rode really smooth!
When I went to swap out the radiator the tranny cooling lines were stripped so Ben is going to swap them out, put in radiator, make kick down bracket, and finish the tune-up, set the timing, etc. Then it's on to purchasing the front end rebuild kit, and lowering springs and shocks to go with the spindles and blocks I have. Should have 3 of my wheels here this week and will focus on getting the other wheel and tires soon.
Got the seat belts in and headlight bezels on today as well as cleaned out the bed of the truck.
Here's a pic of him at the shop.
