Thanks guys. It's DONE!!!!!!! 3-years, 4-months, and 10 days!!!! I'm on for the car show tomorrow. I'll post photobucket picture tomorrow or Sunday. I put about 30-miles on it today. Went for the county inspection for my plates and the deputy didn't even check lights or turn signals. He just wanted to know if I did the work myself and thought it was really cool.
Jay, the painter took the transmission cover into the paint shop and matched the color. It is definitely more silver than fawn but I love it.
The truck ran great! I've got to lower the idle and unfortunately the speedometer sticks. The odometer is still turning so I know it's not in the cable, bummer, I'll probably need to pull the thing out and look it over. The tach and vacuum gauge work great. The temp gauge is pegged on hot but I laser temped the engine and it's the sending unit or the gauge itself. After 30-miles if it were really hot it would have been puking radiator fluid out the over flow also. Overall it is everything I could have dreamed of. I'm so pumped to drive it more.
