And here it is looking right at home, some people might just see an old rusty truck but not me.

The shop looks a whole lot bigger now that the Ford is out of it. I have a few other projects I need to get done before I bring it back in to do some more work on it.

Got the new brake lines ran and installed an adjustable proportioning valve, twice. I bought one on ebay after a couple tries to get the right fittings I found the holes are drilled to deep. Threw it away and bought one from Jegs which came with fittings, got it all plumbed up and bleed the...

Replaced the circuit board on the instrument cluster and upgraded to LED light bulbs.

Calipers on, started to put the brake lines on and found (luckily) that they don't quite reach. One thing all these disk brake upgrade kits fail to mention is you need to relocate the brake line rubber to steel line mount.

Shocks installed, I had to provide my own decal since Monroe did not provide them and when I contacted them I was ignored. Going to try to contact them again.

Here it is installed on the top of the picture.

Replaced the bushings on the i beams and painted them up, same with the tuning forks and put them back on. Ordered the springs and new bump stops.

Grandpas truck is a 360 so I don't see the correlation here.
