    No problem at all ray. It is always a joy working with you. It was to see and hear the truck start up.

    Oh yeah. One more person I should thank is my wife for supporting me with this project. She put a lot of faith into me in making this happen.

    Pretty soon. I'll be putting the body and cab back together today. I need a bolt for the power steering and a transmission dipstick for the transmission. Then it will be up and running.

    I connected the transmission to the radiator. I removed the power steering lines. I tac up the radiator support. I welded in the mounts for the remote reservoirs. I turned the 2nd cat because it was upside down. Now the mounts for the exhaust worked. I only had to extend the one that connects to the transmission cross member. I welded up the muffler supports. I put the front end back on. I installed the new windshield wiper reservoir.
