Getting close.. Motor is back together and Arp wheel studs done on 1 side (only 1/2 my order came in) and the wheels fit great with 1/2" spacer...i just need to decide on optimum tire size for the 6.5 wheel.. Plenty of room. The other 5 arp studs should be here today.
Not much left on my list now.. For a while, it felt like it was growing exponentially. Still need to do studs on the drivers side, put AC vents back under dash, charge AC, tirrs, alignment and rear tires... Ummm, I think that's it till next winter. I wouldn't mind doing a front disc swap this summer but for now, I'm eager to drive.
BTW, if you've never done 8. 8 parking brakes with axles in.. Omfg! It's hard enough when the axles are out! If you're doing an 8-8..just put them in while the axles are out.. As a precaution. Your wheels may surprise you.
