Well, it's been over a year an unfortunately I don't have much of an update, but I figure if I post something it might motivate me to keep at er. It's pretty hard to work on it in the winter, between the cold and my dad piling a bunch of junk in the garage around it. He lives an hour away from me so carving out time to get there has been tough. Come spring I spent a month in NY with familty, then had bunch of wedding planning stuff and got married in August:

The I redid the backyard, got back into playing sports again, work travel... life basically lol. Got back into it a bit this fall, but then winter came again too quickly.
Biggest thing I've done is replace the fuel lines and gas tank. Got the truck fired up briefly in November, roughly a year after I parked it. Had no trouble at all starting up thank god.
I finally sold my stepside box to a father and son who were doing their own project, and bought a fleetside. Also scored a tailgate in amazing condition, which is the last piece of sheet metal I needed.

I got a mig/flux welder for Christmas, but haven't had a chance to use it yet as there's some sort of problem with the 220V circuit in the garage. Once that's figured out I can tackle the rocker panels and cab corners finally. In the meantime I've started disassembly on the front steering/suspension so I can clean up the rest of the frame and rebuild the from end. Stuck on the torsion bars right now, they do not want to budge.
In other news, my brother also bought a GMT400, his an 89:
