I don't have any major milestones to share with you. But progress is being made. Many small nit picky details have been completed, such as brakets for mud flaps, driveshaft resinstalled, and undercoating applied to all underside surfaces.
One item that has been completed is the mounting of the spare tire. I read a post sometime back but can't seem to relocate is about this subject. It seems that the original spare tire rack which is located at the rear of the truck didn't allow a wheel with the tire to fit. In my case this was true as well. What we found was that bolt holes already existed in the frame for this. So it was a fairly easy task (once the existing fastener were wrenched loose) to relocate the carrrier bolts and to the other holes. Once done the spare mounted right up, though it took two people to lift and hold the spare while a third put on the fastener. I would hate to try this on the side of the road.
A few more details and the final assemly of the front end sheetmetal will begin. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will go quickly and that I'll be able to make homecoming in the spring.
