    Cool pics. Too bad they all have to be outside as it sure takes a toll on them. Thanks for sharing. Cool stuff

    They were actually going to get a dedicated area for cars and trucks, but it looks like it hasn't happened quite yet, I guess we need to lobby the Management for it to happen... I also posted my finished Autocar on this post site if you haven't seen it may have to scroll a bit.... I have just been posting here for now until the Mods get a new spot for us, and maybe they will move all of this to that 'spot'.....

    Thanks Lee. Sorry for such crappy pictures. And for me hind sight is always 20/20. It is huge milestone. Jeff

    Ok. It’s in. But talk about ‘shoe horning ‘ it in…. a very snug fit. And took a little finesse to get it in place with out breaking some of the fine fittings that are no longer visible. If I were to do this one again I think I would shave a little material off the lower channel of thew frame. No kne would even notice and kt would give a little more wiggle room. All the detail on the fuel and oil filters and lines are lost but I know it is there. Still a way to go yet but it is progression

    Thanks Kevin. Sadly all the filters will not be seen as the engine sits fairly low in the frame rails, but I know they are there. Hopefully will be able to do the install soon. Thanks for stopping by.

    Thanks Lee and yeah I have heard it called that as well. And yes we were always warned NOT to touch any bolts on the spring brake chambers other than maybe the caging bolts and even then they didn’t want us messing with it as they were concerned that guys would start taking the wrong bolts and the spring would release. They are like a bomb. And when we saw a rusty one on a truck driving down the road we were always told to stay well back in case the chamber let go and that spring released. That was usually on our air brake refresher courses. And yes they did kill a lot of guys who were unaware or forgot. The big deal was if we had a broken spring, a lot of guys thought they were then harmless. And some found out they were not and as you well know the results were not good. Thanks for your input amd kind comments …

    Getting closer to an install. Transmission and engine mated and range selector air line hooked up.

    Fiddling around a-bit this afternoon I added power steering fittings to the steering box

    Another very small update. Added some detail decals to the engine…… and scratched an oil dipstick tube. Wondering if I shud leave it or paint it blue ……I never put the oil filter decals straight on as in all the years I have had my love affair with big trucks they are never in the exact same place. Check out the detail on the air compressor decal. !! You can actually read the Bendix word mark. Wow. Thats impressive. At least I am impressed. That is some fine printing Jeff
