Assembled the front axle, including the new rotors and calipers.

Good Lord 55MetalMonkey, you werent lieing!!!! I took inventory on parts and decided what Im using and what Im not so I can start getting mine mocked up. Also got my .060 over 92 roller 350 block back from the machine shop, sending my stroker rotating assy. to the machine shop tom to get balanced....

Got one side of the painted wheels on today. Not sure about them yet. All a bit black with the tyres and rims together maybe. Will have to see if I get used to them. White walls may break it up nicely I think.



Pulled the water pump and whilst I can't tell absolutely if it is stuffed, there is a noise when I spin it and no resistance at all. There is no play in the bearings but at $100 I thought I'd be safe and throw a new one in. My pet hate is a hot running engine so I'll avoid that at all costs!

Old one:



Old and new parts:




Thermostat housing and thermostat are old and disgusting. Will replace them as well.

Flushed everything out and seems to be all clean. Back together tomorrow.

Got new wheels today, Hope they work. Need a small spacer in the front, some different lug nuts. But i think they look pretty decent!

With the help of my close buddy leonard we Aligned the cab, front end, and bed.
Wet Sanded to 2K grit, buffed, polished and hand glazed roof, cab, dash, front end. OH MAN my arms are killing me.
Then moved onto mounting the front bumper. The truck is coming along nicely
