Received the Hot Rod Dynamics radiator cover and a few other pieces back from powder coat and installed with the Be Cool radiator. Trans cooler lines should be finished tonight.

Few more pics. The gauge panel is installed (sorry for the poor lighting) and the DTS Driveshaft arrived. Shooting for next week sometime to start it up.

Got the steering column in last night along with the Borgeson shaft and U-joints. She's gotten a little dusty over the winter, we'll have to give it a good once-over when it's done. Heading out in the morning to Custom Interiors by Thomas in Auburn, IN. Taking the door panels and headliner to have them covered to match the seat.

The bed is on and some Shell 93 octane is in the tank. Only a few things to finish up before we twist the key!

It'll be a head turner for sure! Hoping to fire it up and get it to the alignment shop late this week or early next... I'll post a video of a walk around pretty soon. Stay tuned.

Finished out the heater hoses and radiator hoses last night, and filled the cooling system with Be Cool's coolant. There's a lot of little things to finish, but the long weekend should help with the time crunch.

Bed wood is just about finished up. Just need to measure and cut a hole for the fuel filler.

OK, so we had a rough weekend, but the C10 finally made it on the road. First time out, it would not shift out of first. Dropped the pan and pulled the valve body to inspect it. Every thing looked good so we reinstalled it and tried again, but still wouldn't shift. Luckily my parts warehouse distributor had a TCI valve body in stock, so off I went for about a 3hr round trip. Put the new one in and everything worked great. Put about 90 miles on it, and should get a few hundred in by Friday to change out the break-in oil and then it's off to a stop in Bowling Green, Kentucky to visit some family before heading to Concord, North Carolina to start the Power Tour. Still have to finish the interior this week and change out a leaking axle seal, but should be all set!

Thanks, everyone! It was a rough last couple of months, but so far has been paying off.
