I guess I'll update you guys on the boreing stuff. Got all the parts ready for the blasters the last few nights. Got the frame loaded on the trailer ready to go tomorrow morning. Scaled the loose rust off the parts going with the frame. Took some catalog pictures to make sure i get back what i took to the blasters. Will go to the scrap yard tomorrow to pick up a few odds n ends i need for the AC

Picked up an AC sub harness specific to 87 and early 88 300 trucks and a cast iron thermostat housing! Most 300s have pot metal housings and its almost impossible to get them to stay sealed without leaking.
