By the look of the date stamp on my last update, I’ve been slacking off.

I now have all the operator controls connected inside the cab, except the steering. The electrical is done except the front lights and horn (and I need to buy two batteries). I put new insulation in and installed the cab roof. The original insulation was brown hairy looking stuff that the mice made a great home in. The new stuff looks like it belongs in a space shuttle. Overall, it’s starting to look like a truck again.

ohhh... sorry Mike, I didn't clean up my dirty footprints yet. Cover your eyes.

In the process of test-fitting the right front fender. I have a bunch of bolts to cleanup and paint to finish this corner off. I also still need to rebuild and install my steering box before installing the left side fender. Then, brake adjustment & bleeding, followed by a few other basic items... The list is getting shorter.

A little more complete on the right front. I decided to go to the larger amber light assemblies, but I still have the originals so I can switch back if desired. Front and rear wiring harnesses are now connected and secured.
