We are trying to get as much done as possible before Christmas. We have the new 8 lug disc brakes mocked up and test fit the wheels. Plenty of clearance, so I will call today to get the others and take them over to powder coating. The steering box and pitman arm for the power steering setup should be here early next week. The rest of the patch panels for the cab go on Saturday and we can weld up some holes in the firewall. Our current plan is to assemble everything in primer and take it to Boise Spring works for them to do the springs and suspension setup. Once we have that we will tear it down and do the rest of the painting and final assembly. At least we won't have to go all the way back down to a bare frame.
I dropped off the 12v mini starter, 100amp alternator, and Pertronics Flamethrower distributor off at the engine builders Saturday night, so we should have the engine this week or next, along with the custom GM 14 bolt rear end and th350 tranny.
It is starting to look like we might actually finish this thing.
