Thanks everyone! It's a relief to finally see things come together.
Sorry if some of the steps/pics are out of order. I tried to keep them straight.
@mightymouse, good to see you.
@Steve, tomorrow if I remember, I'll take a pic of the bed back #'s.
There are additional characters you'd prob. enjoy seeing
I've got more pics to try and post late tonight.
Got the brake/trans. line issue sorted. They've already resent another order, in IA already.
Going to try and get the tranny and oil pan (reusing old) painted next.
I HAVE got to get the rest of the (front) frame/suspension painted Saturday.
Might be one of the last days of warmer weather left!
