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.

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 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.
