Hey All,
Just a little progress-post!
Got married, and managed to get the truck on the road in time to have it at the wedding and even be in the ceremony! My bride and I rode up to the ceremony in the back meadow of our friends' farm with our siblings in the back.
Here we are before hand:

Pulling up to the ceremony and unloading the siblings:

Driving away after the hitchin':

Where it sat, serving another important purpose during the reception:
Pic 4
It was not an uneventful drive from our house to the farm, which is about 50 miles.

I foolishly did not install a fuel filter when i put the engine in, and it started loosing power and almost cutting out pretty badly during the drive. I'm pretty sure it was starving for fuel, since the points look good.
I have to go spend a day giving it some love before driving it home.

The no image rule is not my rule. I only volunteer to enforce it. The image button has been removed from the reply form. Yes, there is a way to get around it but that doesn't mean you should.

The no image rule is explained in the page linked to by clicking the "Image Posting Policy" in the left column of this and every page in the forums. Please read it.

There will be no more discussion of the Image Posting Policy in this thread. Please take your complaints to management.

Oops, apologies! I didn't read the picture policy. Thanks, Cletis, for changing my post to links.
And thanks for the congrats, all.
I had made the pictures smaller for the post, now I can make them BIG again (after work)!
