I put gas in the new fuel tank last night, and started bolting up the Cherry Bombs The new 5/16" steel fuel line has been run all of the way up to the engine (that's quite a bit of fuel line on this truck!).
With any hope I'll be firing it up either tonight or tomorrow (Sat).
When you get to your brakes, I strongly suggest buying rebuild kits for the master and the wheel cylinders and rebuild them, as brake fluid absorbs water and any cylinder that has sat for more than a few of years will no doubt have some rust issues. My cylinders, on my ‘52 which were replaced by a previous owner about 5 years prior, were pitted so bad I couldn’t hone them out.

Keep up the good work and keep us posted!
One of the last owners actually ran newer brake lines and replaced at least one wheel cylinder, so I'm *hoping* that won't be something I have to completely revamp as well, but we'll see I guess.
Got the driver door on today. It needs adjustment and bodywork, but it closes and latches successfully with the new latch. It has never been on the truck in the time that I have owned the truck because the lower hinge pocket needed to be replaced.
I also drove the truck around the block for the first time on 4/21/2021 (sans driver door, lol):
