I'm going to be going back in time to show the truck when I got it and kind of break down the build as it developed. Here's how it looked when I bought it:

-Harwood 4inch Cowl Hood
-New Grille from Street Scene
-New Headlights, Corners, etc.

Then We began the painting process, which included installing the 4/6 drop, and adding all of the parts i ordered including the step side delete. We also installed the wheels we had laying around from our old mustang using some adapters.

That's pretty much how the truck sits right now. I've encountered two problems within the last 6 months that have changed my plans. Those are...
1. My dad was driving my truck there for a while and on the way up the driveway the fuel pump went out, and then he set the throttle body on fire trying to get it started with starting fluid...
2. I took it to get an alignment at a local shop that I normally have all of my tire stuff done at, and they put the wheels back on so tight that the lug nuts broke in half trying to get them off, because they were locking lug nuts. So now, I have to cut the adapters off to get the new tires put on.

I have the intake, carburetor and distributor installed. I also have the fuel cell, fuel pump, new tires, and I've begun cutting the adapters off. I'll have some pictures of the progress pretty soon.

So today I successfully cut off one of the wheel adapters:

Only one of the lug nuts was broken on that wheel so we just had to drill out that one stud once we got the wheel off of the truck. Now I Just have one adapter left to cut off!

Here's the fuel cell I'm going to be using once I start doing the new fuel system setup.

I also picked up almost everything I need for the Denali front end swap:

Got the wheel studs changed, new adapters on that are .5 inches thinner, and got the wheels back on the truck. Here's a pic:
