New parts for an old dog! Got a new walbro 255 and gas tank and put it in last night. I looked through my pile of parts and found a few high pressure fuel lines so all that is plumbed and under the truck. It's a slow process from here out I guess!

Got the bed back on for good I hope and the filler neck installed. Still waiting on the Dakota Digital gauges to show up.

Also got the cowl vent to open after a lot of years being closed up.

That's schweet

Fuel lines and filler neck are done. I also got the running boards and filler panels on today. Trying to figure out how to mount the rear bumper now!

That should be the last thing I have to cut down unless I can't find a driveshaft.

Got my taillight brackets made and on the truck I'll wire them up later when I do the headlights. The doors are on now and I'm still trying to decide on how to mount the rear bumper.

Back bumper went on and I got me a driveshaft out of a Ford Ranger that is the right length. Hope to be driving next month. My goal was the 11th of this month for my birthday but since my gauges are taking so long it'll be a few more weeks.

That would be a great birthday present to you! Lookin good

hotwheels · « **Reply #85 on:** May 08, 2015, 08:27:05 AM »

Well it's looking good. Hope you are able to get it running and driving by your birthday.

hollisc10 · « **Reply #86 on:** May 09, 2015, 06:10:25 PM »

I won't make my birthday but it'll be soon!

I rolled the truck outside today so I could clean the garage today. I am going tomorrow to get my computer flashed and I might do a little wiring if all goes well.

Radiator is in and hose's are made. I also got the cold air intake done. I need to get the throttle pedal an cable done and a battery tray made. Those are the next things on my list.

Got a little done in the past few days. Throttle pedal is in and I have got the drive shaft done. I stripped all the paint from the interior and started modifying the dash for my radio. I also got my glass cut for it and picked it up today! Still a lot to do but coming together!

Got some work done to the dash tonight. Filled the radio hole and added a place to mount it down low. I think it will look better under the dash than on top.

That's a huge difference......nice.

Yea I thought so too

Gauges came in today and I finally made a decision on the interior color. Storm grey metallic and black I painted a 85 Camaro that color a few years back and liked it very well.
