you are making a ton of progress!! I like the contrast on the MT valve covers, all black took away from the nostalgic "M/T" the red accents set a good contrast.

[Madman]

Thanks Maximus! I think the contrast of Black and Red is stunning!

Loss of my friend Paul LaMarre this week to cancer, which is what took the life of my father two years ago, and my hunting partner Harry as well, I will dedicate my rebuild of my truck to all three of them, Spud being my Dad's family nickname, and Pabs being Paul's......I will paint there names into my frame in memorial so they can be forever with me doing the things we loved to do together again...My three friends will ride again, in a way....

[Madman]

Some progress.....here is a hint for keeping valve cover gaskets in place until the RTV sets up a bit

CLIPS

[Madman]

Trying to keep my mind of the loss of my friend...cleaning and overhauling is my therapy...

A little cleaner...

Starting the teardown..
