Weather here has been awfully cold as of late… so work on the truck came to a halt. Decent enough today to get out and work on it.

Ran the vacuum line from the manifold to the trans. Had to clearance the starter support bracket in order to clear the dipstick tube and got the heat shield back onto the starter.

Very little accomplished but by stuffing a big block and a th400 into the truck everything takes much longer to access.

There is a 1500km hot rod tour of my home province taking place this June and I decided to take the truck. Since there’s a good chance of rain and little to no storage in the truck… figured I’d fashion up some kind of tonneau cover. Picked up a canvas tarp from Amazon as a starting point.
