Here's another project we got put back together.
I've managed to get some stuff done on the old girl. Trying to get this thing started up so we can see if the clutch operates correctly, and we're tired of pushing it in and out of the shop. :lol:
My brother mounted the AirDog 150, ran the fuel lines to it, hooked up the injection pump, put the return fuel lines on and hooked it up to the lift pump too. I got the hvac box on and installed new gaskets on it. Hooked up by coolant by-pass and hooked up the heater and radiator hoses. Put on the turbo piping with new o-rings. Painted the battery trays, head light buckets, and some hardware. Installed the new head lights, installed the battery trays, and worked on installing the cargo lamp. The well nuts aren't bulging properly and just pull through. I'll have to get a second pair of hands for that later. I also got a new to me rear bumper. We hung it on the truck but will need to remove it to move the mounting holes farther back t gain bed to cab clearance.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
