Non-Stop

On Saturday my Dad and I worked on the truck for over 6 hours, from 11 to 5ish. What took a lot of the time was trying to connect an exhaust tube to the four wheel drive vacuum; the screws ended up being  stripped on it so we wasted over an hour playing around with that. Once we got past that things moved at a solid pace and we finished installing the intake manifold, re-built the fuel injectors and started some of the wiring. We basically got the engine just about ready to go except for needing to do some research on where some wires went and which lines and hoses went where. After a good day's work we headed off home and I felt satisfied with how close we were getting to the truck running. Later that night I did some research and asked forums for help on where everything went and prepared to finish hooking everything else up the next day.

What a Relief!

This weekend was the big day... taking off the wooden bed. Taking off the bed exposes most the frame and most of the components in the rear ...
