Thanks guys! Work marches on - as the saying goes the beatings will continue until morale improves.
Black paint went on as scheduled. You can see I did not paint the top side of the rear tank stone guards, figured I'd save some black for some other bits and bobs later on.

After the paint dried, I tore down my paint booth and started putting the rear end together, I got the axle under there at some point earlier in the week. Yesterday I put in my rear stainless brake lines and started on the SMF clutch/flywheel kit.

Finished putting the transmission and rear driveshaft in today and went ahead and installed some new rear shock absorbers (Bilstein HD) to round out the day. Also clipped in the rear tank nylon lines in place.

Lastly a pic of the "salt country frame wear items" - the rear hangar and a shackle. Put some Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings in while the springs were off the truck as well.

I can't do the fuel tanks until my senders get here, I'm hoping to get them next week if I'm lucky. There is plenty of other work to keep me busy though!
