Okay well it's been extremely cold here in Oklahoma got down to 2 degrees in my heater quit working because the diesel gelled it sucks. Now it's warmed up it's almost 70 degrees lot of wind and some fires I can smell but at least my fingers aren't Frozen and I can do some more work. I got the front end done Springs calipers rotors tie rods but still need to do a new manual steering gear the old one shot. Finish the rear diff lot of rust in the tubes ordered some new break drums from Summit they were cheaper but the adjuster holes are not punched out that sucks. Got the brakes done on the rear filled it with new gear oil but I'll have to drain it because I forgot to tighten the center pin bolt for my carrier. Still deciding if I want to put a 400 big block or just go ahead and do an LS motor like everyone else.
