Re: Project: Rufus Restoration

Update!

I finally had a free weekend to spend some time in the shop. Since my last real update, there's been some pretty good progress. The cab has been set on the rails, and the interior has been painted. Doors and front clip have been fitted temporarily but still need adjusting to close up panel gaps. Dad got a jump start on the body work and it should be ready for some blocking before long. I purchased a hydroboost adapter and a brake booster adapter from Captainfab and got it all bolted in. I was able to get the hydroboost and hoses from the donor truck that I also got the engine and trans from so things went together nicely. Still need to change the pressure fitting on the line that runs from the hydroboost to the steering box, and lengthen the pushrod to bolt to the brake pedal. Also purchased a vent window rebuild kit, so I'll likely be diving into that before long. Enough of my blah blah blah. On to some pictures...
