I got ahold of one of the billet specialties compressor covers that only comes in their tru trac kits



Got the Battery Tray Finished and painted



Fitting the Dash to get the idea... I still think I may take the column an Dash and shoot them a Satin Dark Charcole or Dove Gray color to better fit the interior



Transmission crossmember painted and cooler lines run (sorry for the dark pics)




Under dash switch panel




Got the bed off the truck to cut out the old battery tray and inspect it and the rear frame. I have attached a picture of the two things that has to be removed and changed. The circled area is a bracket that held the spreader bar. This was cut off and I will not be running the rear spreader bar as it serves no purpose. The arrow is a 1x2 that was welded in with the 2in width sideways and took up valuable space for the new fuel tank. This was changed to a 1x3.



Fixed


I also found that the front crossbar that is also the front mounts for the bed, was the original 80 year old metal cross bar that was cut up about 6 different times. So I cut it all out and remade the cross bar and tied it into the rest of the bed frame.

You can see the old cross bar on the bed in this picture... see all the holes.... yeah thats years of drilling holes for god knows what.



Fixed



Also got some parts porn from the guy that polished the Vic Jr. It should be back next week sometime.
