just an update on where I am at on my project,

the new motor and tranny are complete painted , chromed and ready to drop in. I removed the old trans cross member since it was in the way of the new 700r4. once i get them dropped in i will fab up a new mount for it. the cab will be coming off so i can clean and paint the frame and replace the cab supports and floor pans before it goes back on.
I lucked out on some parts again for almost free, my friend did some trading and in the process he got a 93 mustang bracket racing car.he sold the car already , but before he did i talked him into letting me have the COMPLETE fuel system. ( holley blue pump, a big holley filter,regulator , fuel pressure gauge,all the relays, 12 gallon rci fuel cell , 15 feet of braided steel line and all of the fittings up to the carb. I also scored the 3 inch x-pipe and 2 flowmaster outlaw race mufflers and turn downs to go on the truck. If you have heard these mufflers you know how good it is going to sound. (living in a rural area the police wont say anything about the sound levels =))
so now i get to take the tank out of the cab and begin fabing up the brackets under the bed for the new tank.I am also looking into relocating the battery to the frame rail under the bed somewhere to help clean up the engine compartment. I will try to post new pics tonight.
