Got my original AM radio hooked up and working today, along w/ the OEM antenna I picked up from a buddy. Also cut out all the bed cross members and wheel tubs in anticipation for my Mar-K bed wood kit, scheduled to arrive next week.

Screwed up my paint job on the valve cover, so stripping it and starting over. I had about 9 coats on it, each time screwing something up. Figure best to just start over and do it right the first time (crosses fingers).
