Hopefully we get 'er fired tomorrow, but I'm planning on Monday.
Today, all the electrical got done and the return fuel line got finished.
Finally got to turn the key on after 2 months and everything came right to life.
Tomorrow I gotta finish tightening up some wiring, need to flush all the fuel lines and prime the pump.
After that, it's time to put the front of the truck on and get it ready to turn over.

Tomorrow should be it.
Got 'er almost 100% complete now.
Gotta make the trans lines tomorrow, put the intake and charge pipes back on, top off the fluids and make a final check of everything.
Got a lot done today.
Flushed the fuel lines, swapped the filters on the FASS and primed the fuel system.....
Put the drive shafts back in.....
Had to fix the starter solenoid wire. The wire was broken and the starter wouldn't engage.....
Finished cleaning up the front crossmember.....
Got the front end back together. Not putting the bumper on until after it's we do the break in runs.....

Well, today she lives.
Everything went off without a hitch.
Did a 4 minute and 15 minute break in run, checked the valves, changed the oil and took 'er for a ride.
Man it was nice having my truck back.
I'm processing the video now.
Here's some pics to hold ya over until I get the video done.

Electric fans, no grid heater, entire fuel system removed, all new electrical system AND NO CODES BABY!
She's runnin' like a champ.
I'll have the first 50 miles on it tomorrow, the valves will get checked / lashed as needed, studs will get retorqued and she'll be good to the 500 mile mark.
Had to take the wife out for ice cream for putting up with my ish for the last 2 months.
