    Man all that looks familiar...
    Tired ol' 5.7, 5.3 swap in progress
    Handle every stressful situation like a dog.
    If you can't eat it or hump it.
    Piss on it and walk away.

    Well I have made some progress on the truck this week. The engine and transmission is in and everything almost fell into place with those adapter plates. I did have to move the trans crossmember forward about an inch. Mounted the radiator, fuse box, pcm, air box, and coolant resv. Swaped out the fuel pump and replaced some rusted brake and fuel lines. Everything is going real smooth so far. I have some of the wiring left to do, but most of it is done. Now I am waiting on a manual shift transfer case, PCM tune, and AN fuel lines and we will be ready to fire. I have some pics at home so I will post them when I can. I can't wait to get this thing running. Archery deer season just started 3 days ago so I am need to get my hunting truck done.

    Here are a few pics of the truck so far. It can on alternative fuel for a few seconds so thats a good sign. I still need my fuel lines and transfer case and I think I am set.
