[hgs_notes]

Been busy but the engine isn't any closer to going in. So what have I been up to? Sold the big 4wd crewcab a couple weeks ago. Got engaged. Waiting for my old house in town to close, which has been delayed twice. And parting out the 1990 suburban for parts to be used on this truck (electronic speedo helps a bunch). Once I get the old house sold I'll have some money for buying what I need to fire the engine. The plan (subject to change) is that we get the truck running again this fall. Then the cab will be removed from the frame and set on blocks in the garage for body repairs. The truck is too long to work around in the garage. Once it's in primer we'll get it back on the frame and take the bed off and in the shop for body work. If all goes well, paint next spring/summer and roadtrip it somewhere. Hot Rod Power Tour possibly, if it's ready by then.
