My father in law and I will be building this together (plus a bit of limited help from my 13 year old brother in law), and we both currently work about 60 hours a week, plus I have a baby on the way so work will be slow, bear with me.
Took a couple more pictures today.
Here is the engine that I will hopefully be getting permission to give away/sell soon. Let me know if you need one.
This is what I had assumed was a crank for windshield wipers, as a few old heels I have worked on had a crank in the exact spot.
A spot light that was added on at some point, we haven't decided if we're going to keep it yet.
I feel a bit less bad about the fact that I'm going to cut the floor up to fit the new trans knowing that I have to replace the floor anyway
Anyone know where I could get a reproduction gauge cluster that will work with a modern engine and trans? And go a bit higher on the speedo....
Finally a cancer pic. I have seen cancer much worse on thrucks half as old, but I won't say anything definitive until I get it ripped apart.
