Haven't been working on it for a couple of weeks. Building this robot/sculpture for Vacation Bible School. We have ours during Spring Break. Lot of welding but this is the result. Now that it's done, I'm back on the yeller truck.

OK. I did a lot of work over the last few days. Most noticable (to me anyway) was moving the front axle forward 1.5" while installing the No-Limit R&P kit.

Here's the front axle after moving it forward.

Drives great. No Limit states that any pump will work. NO.

The Ford pump (small neck 60's and 70's pump) blew out the outer seals in 5 minutes. The Ford pump apparently puts out more pressure than the Delco/Saginaw pumps. I solved it with an adjustable valve and had to replace the rack. No Limit is *supposed* to refund my card the dollar amount I spent for the locally sourced replacement rack, but they want the original and I'm shipping it to them tomorrow. We'll see.

Frankly, the only thing they manufactured is the brackets. But they did the heavy lifting in working the whole kit out.

Great, Glad I got a saginaw pump to go with the march pully kit , And yes I noticed all you realy need is the mounting brackets, Paying for their R&D but that OK. Thanks , Truck looks Sweet.

She's now driving it daily. You should see the way it stands out in the high school parking lot. Her friends say her truck is "swag," whatever the heck that means.

I still have to get the tailgate finished and then install the tonneau cover.

I thought swag was the free stuff celebs get at parties and ward shows. I think it means "stuff we all get"
