Slowly but surely. Holidays rolling in, and Im waiting to order the front disc conversion. This weekend im hoping to have the brake lines fab'd up, and be done with the rear

after about blowing half my hand off in a freak accident this week, I have finally got the good weather and time needed to start again.








All that original stuff. Anyone interested in the coolant bag if I dont use it in the resto?








before pics. Just a group of before pics to guage the progress. Might be a video this weekend

If you aren't going to use the bag, put it up on your garage wall as a decoration

thinking about it. Might be a nice little decoration when i clean it up.


No more progress for a while. After blowing half my hand off, and having the follow up today, doc has put me on strict light duty. he wont allow me to even get my hands dirty. shit

That doesn't sound like much fun...and I'm guessing that from the Doc!..they get kinda funny about that kinda thing...

they will come. I ordered all bushings for the front, shocks, and king pins. Going to salvage the brakes for the time being. Should be able to start the ole 240 this week and make sure it works before yanking it out. The C4 will be taken out too, and placed on the 351 to check the compression. Then the drive line will be rebuilt to handle the new power.

I sustained another burn to my left hand, second degree, on the palm. Progress has not been up yet. Rebuilding the front suspension and pulling the C4 out of the truck tomorrow.
