Harness is mostly installed. Installed a new fuel pump this evening, need more fuel line to get that all buttoned up. Got the wrong u joint strap kit twice now. And my gage cluster circuit film is destroyed by rodents.

Had to order a radiator as the one I had don't fit, also ordered a set of headers. Got a rear bumper on it. It runs, moves, stops, turns, just needs the radiator and the exhaust to be drivable.

Keep up the good work!

Seems so. Also has a mangled crossmember at the rear that will need replaced.

Any idea why they cut the rear frame rails? It wouldn't be right for a short box, so I don't understand the benefit.

....just got a new sawzall????.....lol
Lol. That could be it!

I've seen some pretty irrational customizations over the years, but I can't imagine why some one would cut the rear frame rails. It's a shame no matter what their intentions were.

Maybe they had a flat bed off something else that they planned on installing at a future date???

Well the 454 lost oil pressure when warm and started smoking. So its looking like time for a rebuild.
