Finally got her on the road!

I was looking at your tank pics and noticed no return line fitting. That engine has a fuel return line right?

Yes, I plumbed it into the vent/return line on the back of the fuel filler. Ive got 3/8 for the feed and return.

I got my new radiator back from getting patched, and the starter issue ended up being that the bellhousing from the sbc needed a little clearancing with a dremel.

I was ready to fire it up, but the used electric fuel pump wouldnt power on, despite power to the leads

I'm just waiting for my fuel pump to come from the mailman. Maybe Sat or Monday...

In the mean time, I got the seat rebuild kits for Christmas, and reupholstered one of the seats yesterday... SWEET!

Got a bunch of pipe, bends, and made the 2-1/2 exhaust.

Here is the front part. I just need to get a few more hangers, but its under the truck now

Nice work. It is amazing what new seat covers can do.

Thanks Scott, I used your writeup as a guide. Believe it or not, upholstery has always been intimidating to me., but your pics made it look easy.

Diesel Power!

It finally did yesterday! Fired it up moved it out of the garage, hit the brakes, and the pedal went soft. I blew the front brake line, but its a runner! I need a new alt belt, its slipping a little, but other than that its all good.

Maybe some pics this afternoon

Glad to hear you got it to rattle George. Way to go.
