You made some fast progress in a short time since you got it. Gotta feed the family too, so its not gonna hurt to let it sit a bit. And weather conditions can only get better for he next couple months, instead of deteiorate so it's all good !!! :waytogo:

Yeah I am happy with the progress I have made so far but I am ready tonged this thing on the road ASAP. I am going to try to get the engine compartment cleaned up and painted this weekend so when the new harness comes in I can install it and be ready for the motor to go in. After that it will just be a bunch of little odds and ends to do.

Well I haven't posted anything in a while so I thought I would post a quick update. Between the weather and my work schedule I haven't had much of a chance to get any work done on it in a little while. Im tryin to get parts put up so when the weather warms back up I will be ready to go on it. At the moment I'm trying to find a good deal on some rims for it, either 18's or 20's wanting to find me some as a birthday present to my self. Anyways I wish I could post a bunch of progress but for the moment just at a standstill.

The rims look like new. No scratches or anything and three of the four tires are almost new one is kinda low but still usable. Only problem with them is that they was missing the centers, but I found some for $15 a piece

Well I sanded on this damn thing for around 6 hours today and still got a ton more to go. Tailgate is roughed in and got a few other spots fixed up pretty good. Picking up a 2 inch cowl hood tomorrow from a guy. Can't wait to get this thing finished and on the road, it should be cool

I like the second gen console...If I can find a dark gray from a truck with column shift and floor shifted transfer case, I'm grabbing it.
