Hello all;

Thanks for checking in and following along.

DB Cooper, that is a pretty stable you have there. Thanks for the pic and the reassurance that drums are fine.

Speaking of drums, they should be here this week which is good as I would like to get the chassis a roller again.
The cab bodywork is done and seam sealer applied. I am told that it will be sprayed this week. Fingers crossed it happens.
I have been busy cleaning, painting and installing parts on the engine. I was a bit short sighted when pulling the engine from the donor vehicle as I left the power steering pump behind. Sooo, I have been researching and pricing replacements. From what I can find these pumps are pretty much bullet proof. I priced out a remanufactured pump for 140.00 with a 40.00 core charge ( which I don't have ) so I bought a used one off the local buy/sell for 40.00. I blasted and painted it, which seems to be a re-occurring theme of late...

That is all I got.
Stay safe,
Steve
