Another major step forward today. The engine after all my work on it was fired up for the first time. Yesterday I finally got it to cough on quick start. Turns out after much head scratching that the points had oxidized from sitting for just over a year. After cleaning them I had very strong blue sparks at the plugs. Today I hooked up a fuel line and it fired right up. It’s only been run for about 10-20 seconds a couple of time since I don’t have the radiator hooked up yet.

Got to love that first start
Hi Jordan
Got to love firin up out side the truck. One of the reasons I first made a test stand, to start and run the engine and cooling system out side the truck so much easier to see and get at everything before it is all tucked away in the truck. I'm enjoying your progress. Cheers Phil

While waiting for some more engine part to arrive I’ve jumped back into making up the sheet metal parts for fitting around the radiator. I’ve also made up a set of the sheet metal that fits on the bottom of the fenders to cover the gap near the cab step.

I spent some time in the shop making up some more sheet metal parts. First up was fitting the lower radiator splash panels. These came in two parts and seal off the space between the bottom of the radiator and the mounting bracket and the frame cross member. As expected everything lined up perfectly.
I also started in on making up the radiator shroud. I got the top one done up.

The radiator shroud is coming along. This was a pile of work to measure 5 times and then cutting it out.
