Great job, Stryker! Congratulations on getting the truck back on the road.
You've done a lot, I'm impressed by all the hard work and perseverance, and I'm sure you will continue to make it better.

Btw, I agree on the engine running cool. I was worried about not having a fan shroud and thought that I needed to get one before it got hot out (I got the truck this past winter). I recently noticed that it actually runs relatively cool, even when it's stupid hot out. The needle never gets past the middle of the gauge, and haven't noticed it being hot otherwise. Still looking to get a shroud though , but now it's more out of a desire to "have the complete set" than because I need it to stay cool.

Anyway, keep at it, I look forward to your progress. And how about some pictures?
