LOVE the truck, beautiful (and fast) work.

It might just be the pic but to me it looks like the engine is not centered (moved towards the left part of the pic..

Andre, Yes you would be correct. I had just dropped the engine and trans along with the cab back on to chassis and jumped the gun taking the pic.
Also the engine is not level in the pic but it was the best pic I had to show the build. Thanks all for the kind words.

A couple pics when I was leveling it up.
The mounts are still not bolted up at this point, the cab is not 100% squared either. Kind of a test fit to make sure is all ok. Brake booster is only 1/4" from valve cover less gasket so I need to make a wedge for it etc. The intake manifold is also just sitting there... The tailshaft-rear needs to go to drivers side by about 1/2. crossmember not bolted in yet...

Its really a struggle trying to do everything yourself. Especially when dropping in the engine/trans or installing/removing the cab or bed along with a zillion other tasks. Its taking a long time trying to do it all myself to save $$ as do not have the funds to farm anything out. That includes, engine, trans, body & paint, interior etc. Also the weather here really sucks so doing any blasting, painting etc has to be on a few and far between nice day. Last night it was down well below freezing and its getting close to the end of May! lol






More updates soon. Getting a tad excited to actually hear it run.
