It Moved! Under its OWN power!

Finally got the transmission clutch stuff installed/bled.
Have brake fluid all over me! But it MOVES. (This has been several years.)

Still need to connect all the exaust and turbo stuff as well as finish the fuel system. Right now running it off of a fuel can in the bed.

Still need to wire and connect all the new gauges. All the old ones were dead.

But at least I can move it and be obnoxious.

Needs some body work and paint, but a solid daily driver. Has been my daily driver for last few years. Mileage unknown due to the speedometer change. Truck bed is from a newer model truck. Items in the bed come with the truck and include a 40 gallon tank (not hooked up), airflow tailgate and service ramps.
