Good progress and fixing my mistake the last few days.

Finished staining and coating and have everything loosely installed in the bed. Still need to measure and square the bed up then tighten all the bolts.

I test fit the tailgate, fender and running board to get a look at it and that’s when I noticed my wheel “issue”. In the EZ Chassis swap kit it provides an offset shim for the spring pack. It’s suppose to move the rearend forward but I messed up and installed it backwards and moved the rearend back. Needless to say I was not happy with myself! I fixed that today and dropped my driveshaft off AGAIN to be shortened. They were great about it and will have it done tomorrow and will give me a discount which is a plus.

Things are moving at a good pace and the list is getting shorter. Shouldn’t be too much longer for a real test drive more than up and down the driveway.
