Front bumper on. I drove the truck to town tonight for the kid's ball game, the first five miles at fairly low rpm, mostly dirt road, all was good,but on the highway it was not so good, pulling the long hills it would cut out like running out of gas about half way up the hills. I looked at the carb sight glass there's only fuel at the very bottom, do you think I'm just running out of fuel?

I figured out that if you swap the lines on the fuel tank they don't run right. Swapped them back and everything is ok! Thanks for the compliments. slacker, no didn't figure it out yet, don't want to mess it up, but it is mounted in the dash! I drove it about 75 miles today, made me happy!

Hopefully next week ill have new door panels in matching leather, and a new shifter boot. After I drive it awhile I plan on building a rear bumper to match the front.

Update, a/c condenser threads were bad and blew off, got that fixed a couple weeks ago, sent radio to a radio repair man should have it back any time then can reassemble the dash. Hay season is finally over and can finally build new door panels then I can call it finished! Can't wait to get to driving it again!

Thanks for the compliments! The color code I don't remember, but it was called dark brown metallic in the freight liner color book at napa. Yeah got the condenser welded up at a local radiator shop and it seems to be working in the shop but I haven't drove it since I put it back together. It had rubber trim in the groove on the sides, I would like to have some of that stuff new to put back on it.
