Got some parts, but still not there yet!!

Steve and I have been working around not having the rear end and brakes. We've worked on attaching the A/C condenser in front of the radiator and also installing the fan motor and shroud on the radiator. That took a little doing but we've got that ready to go now.

We also have installed the fuel pump and fuel filters and the fuel line up to the engine compartment. We've also started the wiring process. We installed the fuse box and sorted out most of the wires we'll need to run.

The truck showed up yesterday with the rear end and the brakes. They also were supposed to have a battery box I ordered. Well, the rear end appears OK, but the brakes have the wrong disks. I ordered drilled and slotted disks and the ones that arrived are slotted only. Man, this brake thing has been unreal. Also the battery box somehow got lost on the way here.

We will start installing the rear shocks and rear end tomorrow. I'm hoping for a fast turn around for new disks so we can get the brakes installed which will then allow us the put the tires on and have a rolling chassis, which will start looking like a car of sort.


Here are the fuel filters and fuel pump

                         Putting some heat and sound insulation behind dash area.

                         Installed fuse box and sorted out some of the wiring harnesses

                       Didn't keep my finger out of harms way. Got a smashed finger nail
                                           
              Boxes that arrived yesterday. Rear end in big box, brakes in smaller box

                                                                     Rear end.
