mounted the fan shroud last night,
needed some trimming due to the larger body mounts and its a really form fitting to the rad inlet and outlet..

Trimmed the lower portion bit where the fan was hitting..

Was thinking about it..
Went with the. Vbelt for ease of repair/parts availability..

Nothing like being stuck somewhere when you have a "1 of" system and need to special order custom parts..

Everything on this truck can be repaired with off the shelf

on a suggestion from my wife I actually looked at the instruction manual last night for the painless kit.... I now understand why they call it painless...  the instructions actually make sense and answer questions...

manhood slightly insulted, yet thankful for female intervention...

Nothing in the way of major progress has gotten completed..
Summer weddings and sunshine has put a damper on spending some quality time wiring..
hard to get anything done in and hour when the first 20 min is spent figuring out where I left off..

planning on taking a day off of work in the near future to get the thing all routed and termed... I can then spend in between time making it look pretty..

Did get everything grounded and installed a ground block on the firewall for all the dash items.  that 10 ga wire coming off the neg battery term goes right to the dash block.
