It should be delivered tomorrow, and yea without him and his garage this wouldn't have been possible!

New crate engine came today! Was very happy to see it arrive!

While waiting for the motor to be delivered, I addressed some transmission leak issues. Changed out the shift shaft seal and dropped the pan to clean it out and to change the trans filter. Pic of the trans pan because it looked so nice after cleaning it up! After about 5 hours worth of work in the new motor, it is basically ready to drop in the truck. Hopefully I'll be able to work on it in the afternoon and maybe get it cranked,n

That is a nice truck. If you want you can bring that trucks back mostly you will be really surprised I bet assuming it hasn't been clear coated and peeling. Anyway this is all you need and its not that much. Slow and easy little at a time in the shade. that's what I used on my truck. I like the polisher because its random Orbit and doesn't leave swirl marks.
