So its been a very busy week here. I finally got off my rearend and got some work done.

This was a big thing to get done. I needed to move this away from the main garage.

I worked on the inner fenders, got them painted. There is some more work that needs to be done later.

Now have to look at the fenders and see how well the insides are holding up.

Started cleaning out the garage so I can pull the seat from the truck and start insulation/heat shield install. Then onto wiring.

Still trying to get my self into the garage to work on the truck. House projects are taking priority right now but still hoping to get out there again soon.

No updates, still doing house work. Hope everyone is doing well.

Lacking motivation and some time to get going. The weather is perfect for working now and I just need to get going! Hope everyone else is doing well though!

Closing in on completing the Master Bathroom remodel! This will hopefully cause me to have time to get working on the truck!

Well no extra time yet, but I think I will have some around Christmas this year.

Well Christmas is coming and I think I will spend a couple of days in the Garage. I have to do some arranging so I can get to both sides of the truck. I want to get the floor insultation/noise reduction done. This will also give me access to start wiring.

Hope everyone has a great holiday!

Well I have been very lax in my project progress. Things have been pulling me away from the truck. I am going to pull the truck out of the garage and turn it around, this will give me better access to the cab. I am hoping to finish painting the floor so I can install the Insulation/Sound Deadening material prior to wiring.

Been tied up doing everything but working on the truck. I was out in the garage trying to sort out the good and the bad parts. Ran across my new Steering Column Lower Bearing and decided it was a good idea to install it and get it out of the way before it was lost!

Still need to paint the Column but it turns so much easier now.

Continuing work on the garage and came across the "Z" Bracket for the clutch and decided I was going to add a grease fitting the the pivot. Got that done and now have to pull the bracket off the Frame and clean up the ball and look at the felt before the "Z" Bracket gets re-installed.

Been working on the steering. Got the column in. So now I need the steering shaft to the box. With the 79 Steering box installed, the Steering Shaft needs to be shortened. Got that cut down and have a sleeve to reconnect. It's cleaned and painted awaiting welding. I will post some pics soon.

Here is the "Z" Bracket installed.

Went in pretty good.

Here is the shortened steering shaft. Got the sleeve and was able to weld and paint it.

It is installed and the truck can be steered again. Now I just need to find one of my lower steering column supports.
