Today was get the truck ready for the Trinity show next weekend. Also get the garage cleaned. Got the brakes bleed today but the back brakes feel like they are not fully working. Will need to find a local shop that can help with adjusting them and also need to get the valves adjusted. Onto the next project.

It was a great weekend to start the daunting task of moving my auxiliary fuse / relay box in the 620. When I first installed I didn’t want to change the transmission to a 5 speed. But I think I will need to sometime soon. When I installed it originally I put it where the clutch reservoir goes when we do the swap it will have to be moved anyways. Well it is started and should finish tomorrow.
Also started making a wire harness to adapt to my stock ignition switch plug. Don’t really want to cut up the stock harness up to install the pushbutton start system. Now to get the rest of this wired up and finally might be able to use the power door locks soon that we installed when we started building the truck a few years back lol.

Time to start watching marketplace for parts for the conversion.
