However, I have the brake lines all ran, bled, and working good now. Next up after we get back from vacation and I save a few truck bucks, is a battery, sway bars, bed wood and trim, run the gas line to the rear tank, block it all out and paint. That's all gonna take me all winter and part of spring to save money for and actually do the work. :-) Taking longer than i want, but I don't want to build my truck on credit.

Come on man, spending money you don't have is the American way!
But seriously, I'm glad you're still at it. It doesn't sound like you're that far away(other than that part about blocking it out) It's going to be a KILLER ride when you get it finished. Can't wait to see it! Keep us posted

I'm not putting AC on the truck, at least not until long after it's done and I have nothing better to do!

Oh I know, I owe money I don't have on my house, Camaro and Harley... But the 69 I am proud to say has been done with money earned and I'm going to keep it that way. I still hope to be driving it by next summer.

I did yank my dash and fix the circuit that I shorted out while changing bulbs with the lights on. (Don't do that!) I went ahead and put a ground wire from the gauge chassis to the dash. $50 oops. The ground on the temp gauge I did because it was pegged when running.

You can see the burnt strip on top ... barely.

Jimmy the truck is looking good man. Good to see pics of our old YJ in here when I read the whole thing. I'm shopping for 67-68 project truck to start. I'm sure I'll be dropping by for advice.
