Today > Finished repairing rad core panel. Moved stuff out the garage and winched(I'm on a slope) the chassis cab into the once big space. Then put everything back in around the truck. It's tight in there but I'll have to make room to prep and paint.

Walked passed it, again, wishing it was back together.  Still getting the old paint off the big block that's gonna go in.  Got a shipment from Summit.  Wished there was more "free" time in the work week.  Gonna paint the engine this weekend and get the old engine out.  Wondering what tranny to run....mind is running all over the place.....

today,   i walked by it when i got home from work and said "why don't i drive this every day?"  then realized it's because it's a pain to move all my tools from one truck to the other....

tomorrow i'm hoping to wash and wax it.

Pulled the instrument cluster out, pulled dash pad out and removed old, funky AC vents. Redid the band on the front of the dash and got new AC vents ready to go in. Cleaned up instrument cluster. All looking pretty good. Tomorrow, put it all back together then install new dash cap. Things are lookin up.

I cleaned my 77 up and took it out Saturday night. Went to a local car cruise and enjoyed the weather. Today I took voltage reading of the ride sensors on my Ride Tech E3 system. Trying to determine why they aren't calibrating.

I installed my chrome shifter today. Removed the front seat-hooked up a new amplifier/amp combination just to take out because it didn't sound good, left the seat out deciding weather or not I want to do the rest of the stereo or wait-guess I'll put the seat back in later and order some new shallow subs for behind the seat and build a box at a later time.  Took my daughter for walk through the u-pull-it didn't find much today. Though a little bit about how many hours really goes into old vehicles to make them nice.

another productive weekend! driver side rear door off and binned, donor door fitted (and totally stripped) it lined up really nicely but the driver door had 1/2 inch of filler in so that's been ground out back to bare metal ready to skim.

New cab mountings fitted drivers side and most of the wires through the bulkhead disconnected.

Think I might have to take a leaf out of Vile's book (but not so drastic!) and cut out the bulkhead and replace with smooth sheet. I know it's more work but it's gotta be quicker than trying to sort out what's there!

Was all busy last weekend with the interior. But got derailed Monday when I had a heart attack at work. Just got out of the hospital Friday afternoon. Everything is kind of on hold now.
