gas pedal mounted
brake pedal extended and moved. 


first shop lot burn out check. 

lot test says the cab is noisy and bouncy.  need to get some door latches on order.

needs plates and inspectable items run
wipers will probably be the biggest hassel.

Front bumper mounted
oil change
oil cooler block off plate installed.
tested lights with a battery charger.... they all amazingly work... except one of the signals i may have burned out with 12 volts..... for too long

head lights high and low, fog lights and front signals all light up.  crazy.
