     Not sure why I didn't line out this deal while I was lurking and asking for advice when this project started but here goes-

   Engine thread here:

  Original heater core date stamped Veterans Day 1964 is still in the truck. Just had the original radiator re-cored.

  Always something to change or adjust. Hastily built a fan shroud for the solid fan but I'm reluctantly changing to an e-fan. It's been a lot of fun attending the small local cruises and hammering it when it's safe to do so.

   I decided to change from the ported SM to the stock RPM. Just something about the old SM that I couldn't get it to seal and not leak in the corners.

   My son found a company online that makes car air fresheners of YOUR CAR. Look close in one of these pics.

   The last pic is of a charcoal and pencil drawing that my kids commissioned with Boyd's Artistry. Boyd is a Solider in my oldest son's Army unit that uses his talent in his free time. You can find him on Facebook and other social media I believe.

Really really nice Jeff.

  Thank you Sir! It's been incredibly humbling building it. Still volumes to learn and thankfully I can laugh at my mistakes.

You got a nice looking truck. The cars are a lot of fun to get out and drive once you finally get them to that point.

   As always, a project is never "done".

   Fan shroud got changed along with a new Cold Case 16" fan and re-fabbed the overflow bottle bracket.

   Also added a Innovate Motorsports dual wideband O2 gauge.
 
   Making plans for a GV over/under drive since 4.10s aren't fun on the highway so looks like there might be some exhaust changes too.

   Had a great weekend at the Goodguys show 2 weekends ago with my project though!!
