Hey everyone,
I know I haven't posted any updates in forever, but I have still have been making progress on the truck whenever I can.
Right now it is a bare frame on jackstands with the cab on it.
I have the underneath of the cab, and the front half of the frame almost ready for p0r15, and paint.
I will be replacing the cab mounts, which I already have.

I have been steadily collecting parts, I have a new rear end center section, 3:64 gears with a trak lok. And I have been lucking out at summit racings discount shelf, where I found a rear disc brake kit, and cold case radiator with electric fan for a first gen bronco, that I think I can make fit.

I also got a new project, picked up a 1989 ford e150 conversion van that's been sitting for a while.
It has a 5.0 and aod trans,
Got it for parts, but it's to nice to cut up, so now I'm thinking it may become a camper conversion/ tow rig to haul my bumpside around if I ever go racing.
I already got it running, just needs a few minor things before it'll move under its own power!

So far on the truck, I have been spending ridiculous amounts of time making sure everything is perfect, but now I realize, that I just need to get it done, and not worry about what it looks like. I bought the truck when I was 17, and it was supposed to be a stock restoration to be my daily driver,
And now it has transformed into something not very stock, and I still haven't even sat in it yet, and I'm 20 now.

I hope you all are doing well, making progress on your trucks,
And enjoying them.

No matter what the struggle is I still enjoy every minute of working on my truck! No matter how much of a pain it can be some days, lol!
I will hopefully be posting updates a lot more often!

It isn't easy doing long term projects. Mine has been going on longer than you have been alive! Glad you are making progress. Just keep at it, and the upgrades you are making may be a plus for daily driving!
