Another nice day so I spent some time working on the truck.

Replaced the header collector gaskets
Reconnected the exhaust
Tightened the trans pan bolts and the drain plug bolt
Put roughly 7.5l of trans fluid in
Main floor is back in
Shifter’s mounted
Redid the throttle cable
Checked the fuel line connections for tightness
Connected the dist to the negative side of the coil
Fought with the cross member to get it into place… missing a bolt and it looks like the front of the new trans pan might interfere with it
Had the tire mounted on the 15x7 rim the other day. Now both rears are sporting 255/70r15
Got the truck off the stands and back on solid ground
Made a list of things still to do.
