That is awesome Brian!!! Good work as usual!!!! Sounds like Anthony is ready to have some fun it it!!!
he's still gotta wait, i need to shake it down, he needs to spend a grand on tires,
shes got an oil leak, and a starting issue.
most of which i need to resolve and finish up little stuff like exhaust, etc.

after a couple more grand down the drain, i believe i have fixed most of the issues, got new tires and today i started on the trans cover to finalize it for interior.
tomorrow ill make some shifters, get the boots all in, and maybe... carpet.

ill have to check in with the kid and see if he wants to do carpet.

well, as done as im going to get it!
the kid now gets to transport it to Virginia!

lots of issues with driveline vibration, and ended up needing a DC driveshaft due to driveshaft angle..

was my first real issue with this, and i learned alot!

we are finishing up the wiring today,
turn signals are done, and now off to the store to get parts for turn signal indicators.

From the outside looking in I would have to say let the man behind the wheel make up his mind what he want's to do with his new ride. Looking at the pick with him behind the wheel tells me that he is on cloud 5 and going to 9 as quick as he can. Love to see that look on a young mans face with his first new ride. That is priceless. Gota love the truck .

Transport it? You mean drive it right? A trip like that in a rig like that builds character ;)

That is awesome!!!! Nice work!! That think will be more of a head turner now. Before, it was a nice shape old pickup that you don't see much anymore. But now, hear it roll in and turn to look for a "newer" diesel pickup and that comes rattling in... that is great!!!!!
