As is often the case with these sorts of projects, what should have been easy...

Anyway, I have run into a few issues today:

1. Body alignment - the core support is slightly higher and slightly further forward than it used to be, so I'm having to add some shims here and there, and monkeying with the cab takes time, to get the fenders to hang straight

2. Brakes. My driver's side caliper (which is a new Delco Durastop unit, premium part...) decided to start leaking everywhere. I'm going out to R&R it here in a minute to see if I can't fix it; if not, NAPA trip in the AM

3. P/S - it took me FOREVER to bleed the brakes, getting to the bleed screws on a narrow 14FF is very difficult. The hydroboost unit is working great, but I may have run into a capacity issue with my reservoir - that is to say, when the truck is running I don't quite have enough fluid, and when I shut it off it's filled to the absolute top of the reservoir. I guess this is why the later pumps have a larger capacity reservoir. D'oh!

However, I cranked it over briefly to prime the oil and when I hooked up the coil, it fired on the first turn . I did have to R&R the clutch dust shield, it was bent just enough to touch the flywheel and making a bunch of racket.

That said, it's almost a truck again!
