WOW!
I’m really impressed and encouraged by the # and quality of responses!! Let me see if I can address them all.
OldSub (Steve): I would be very interested in looking at that book. If you come up with the name let me know. Also, if I find it I will post it on the site also.
51 Rust Bucket: Thanks for the advise. Since I am blessed with more time than $$$$ I think that I will try to remove it all myself first, fit it, test it, then decide if I need to go another route. By the way, I love the Suicide Doors. If this were not my first one I might try them too. Maybe the next go-around!
jimbob1957 & tabdoo16: I was really hoping that someone would come up with an alternative to the stock harness. I want to give it a try, but I feel better if I have another option in the back pocket (other than a manifold and carburetor). Thanks!
tabdoo16: By the way – I am seriously impressed at your project and welding skills – It looks great!! I hope that mine can look ½ as good. I am also encouraged to see the ’80 steering column match to the 700r4 – I was planning on using that vintage column too.
wilbur: Very cool truck! I really got a kick to see how you pulled the cab off with the engine hoist! That’s exactly how I pulled mine off! Is the gas tank an aftermarket or from a donor? Also, I could not get your second page of pics (the one with the motor to load).
Thanks again and keep it coming if you have any other ideas or input.
Carl
