It does feel great. Not sure if this truck will ever be finished, always more to do. I am struggling with finishing the engine break in since I don't want to get salt on the truck and the roads are still caked around here.

I've decided the instrument cluster needs an upgrade. Want to have more accurate gauges to keep an eye on the engine and add tach and vac. Also the old Stewart Warner gauges are interesting looking in my opinion. Its a little mini project to convert the stock cluster to better gauges. I see the Stewart Warner gauges have a bit of a following and people are collecting them. Oil pressure guage is on its way here, disregard the 160psi one in there now.
