Love that pic! During the build on the old pickup I wanted the ability to override the relays for all systems. I ended up with something akin to an airplane cockpit.

Finished the interior. All that's left now is some final bodywork and paint. Trying now to summon the energy to disassemble the entire truck, bag and tag parts and hardware. Did this with the chassis before powder coat.

Congratulations to you and Carmen ! I understand how priorities get shifted. Hadn't seen you post for a while and was just curious as to the tractor progress. Good luck to you on your day at the track.

MoparMur, Any chance yet to work on your tractor? Just curious....

Got both bumpers painted to match what the color scheme will be for the truck. Also finished the carpet install and console. On to the headliner and kick panels.

old guys rule, I'm extremely lucky to have my son working with me on my current build. He's my hands. Used to be that high school mechanics classes would take in projects used as learning tools. I've no idea if that practice is in existence today. You might be able to contact Ken-Digit. They...

LOL...You need to buy some stock in that clamp company.... Not knocking your technique, just struck me as funny seeing that many small clamps. Gotta do what ya gotta do.

Just me, but I'm thinking having those intakes that close to your rotating tires will introduce a lot of debris to your air cleaner. Not to mention excessive amounts of water splashed and water depths greater than 6" or so. Also dusty road conditions. I don't think grabbing air for your engine...

Finished welding and installing both front and rear bumpers and just set the hood on to see how she looks. Backed the timing down a little and temps are in the 185 deg range. Re-set the float bowls. Running great. She's ready to run on the road !

Literally....(more like draggin' ***)

I had my son weld up sort of a bumperett for the old truck, along with some bed to cab close-outs. Used some gravel screen I found in the scrap pile. I used header flange gaskets to cover the rough edges from cutting holes in a square pattern screen. Not to sure I like this version yet, but I've...

I found another source for the miterbox. Let me know if you may still be interested in using one for your tractor. The source sells new units to the public so you may not have to go crawling around under an old bus. Very curious as to how you may be able to incorporate one.

Especially where a good seal is required.....

Only a few times around the block at 25 mph.mainly checking oil pressure, temp, and shifting points. Have yet to really get on it. So I don't even know yet if the kick down cable is adjusted correctly. She runs slightly warm at 200 deg, but have not engaged the trans oil cooler, and the timing...

I wouldn't even begin to call anyone dumb. It just ain't in me to do so. Such a great bunch here, without info provided I don't believe the build would have gotten this far. Especially with engine and trans issues. I can't even begin to tell all how important this project is to my sons' mental...

Thanks for the update! Post some pics of the process. Not too familiar with GM's P30 chassis as the RTS motorcoach doesn't have a full frame. Those bellcranks look pretty robust and should easily handle the loads.

New pics in a better light. It's a 50/50 primer paint job. If you're half blind and 50 ft away, it doesn't look too bad. Bought the sound deadener and a interior kit for door panels and headliner. Still waiting on the level 3 vin inspection, but forsee no problems there. We need to be able to...

Progress report ? Can I help in any way?

Any progress? Very curious as to how far you've got this going.

Please keep me posted as to wether you're able to find the miter box. I will gladly assist you in locating one. I can also assist with u-joint and shaft P/N's.
