Made a little progress last week. With some expert help I had the air tanks and straps painted and managed to reinstall them, been meaning to do that for a couple years now.... Permanently installed the air dryer purge tank behind the running board a few months ago.
Yesterday I took it for a ride a couple miles down the road to a show. It seems to drive and handle just fine other than it could use some shocks but I already knew that.. It is gear bound with the 4.56 gears, didn't have a speedometer or tachometer but felt a little slow on a 55 mph road, certainly usable but wouldn't like the highway. I was planning on the rear axle gear swap close to the end of the process but may move it up the list a little now.
