I took yesterday off after work and ended up taking a late afternoon nap. I tried to make up for lost time today and picked up the pistons/rods from the machine shop. They did a nice job, got everything centered and oriented properly. I was impressed with the quality and look forward to dropping these into by block very soon.



Once I got home I decided to go ahead and set the frame under the truck to get an idea of what it is going to look like. I was planning on installing it this weekend but changed my mind and now intend to get it bolted into place tomorrow. I wanted to install the brake booster and clutch/brake pedals first but the deal fell through on the salvage pedals and the brake master cylinder needs to be replaced (the old one is “dirty”). So it will be a little longer before those pieces are secured.
