Looks nice and solid Tim
Suspension actually flexes a bit with the weight of the Cummins lol. The yoke gets within 1/4" of the pan at full flex. As long as I bounce straight up and down I should be fine lol
Note: The front spring bushings are worn. New bushings and they might now flex as much.
Looking really good. Can't wait to see it on the road!
Thanks Mikel. I got the front driveshaft installed, CB antenna mounted, and the fuel system hooked up. I was only in the garage for about 3hrs today, sat around all morning.
And this is why I keep telling my other half I need a garage for :)
Today I installed my new dipstick, hooked up the throttle cable, reinstalled the firewall plates, hooked up my mechanical temp gauge and installed the fitting for the oil gauge. Still have to get a new brass tube for the gauge.

remote tranny cooler is installed, tranny is full-ish, and both shifters are hooked up. I will be firing up the engine in the truck tonight. I gotta charge the battery. Front sheetmetal is still not on though.
Fingers crossed for uQuote:
