Just realized it has been a loooong time since I posted an update.
I have been side tracked by another project but working on the truck a little at a time.
As some have noticed from the Paint and Body forum I am working on front end assembly for fit checking prior to paint. Struggling with the passenger side fender position but that is a discussion best left for othe places.
I was hoping to be ready for paint soon but now realize that I have a lot of work to do before that. When I do get to that point I was originally planning to paint everthing seperately then assemble but my revised plan is too paint the interface areas (door jams, cab rear, edges of fenders and hood, etc. then assembly and paint all together. Still time to change my mind again off course.
Still hoping to fire and break-in the engine this summer/fall but have not decided when to pull that particular trigger. I have fuel to the carburetor, power to the distributor and starter, etc. so in theory once I prime the oil system it should be ready to run.
The final body work is not my greatest passion so I am tending to drag my feet but I need to get my self in gear and get to it.
