No Coal for Christmas

Merry Christmas to everyone. I know I haven't posted in a while, things have been a bit slow finishing up a semester of school and the holidays. Now as I did not get coal for Christmas when I first got the truck there was an Ice Cream bucket full of coal in the cab. I'm not sure why the coal was there, perhaps the heater broke down.
Anyways for Christmas I did get a set of MSD Spark Plug wires. Then I also came across a 400 Turbo transmission to bolt up behind my 454. As it didn't come with a torque converter I placed an order for one. Also in delivery I ordered up an MSD distributor, and a flex plate for the motor. In other good news, we contacted speedway motors for an update on my suspension components. They are waiting for only the shocks and then it will ship.

This weekend I will be boxing in the frame, for the suspension cross-member. I'll have more pictures later on of that. I have the frame ready after flattening the part of the frame turned up for the stock steering box.
