    That's gonna be nice. The painted tanks will definitely be an upgrade. Engine and trans look great.

    But what kind of engine is that? Looks like it has a turbo propelled by both banks of cylinders -- is it like an 8V-92 or something?  (Duh --not the world's biggest Detroit expert)

    Score!    --- Nice kit, also excellent door signs!

    I remember Hill&Hill from back in the day. They had two terminals: Houston, Texas and Casper, Wyoming. They ran pipe and stem and drilling machinery from the Port of Houston to all points in the northern US, Canada, and Alaska. They had a whole fleet of those company trucks painted that particular shade of green.

    I never drove for them, but they had the rep of being a good outfit to work for, with super good equipment -- as long as you didn't need to be home every weekend 😎

    Totally!  That looks great.

    This is fun -- I never understood how those radiator setups worked before -- it's like two separate radiators, one on each side, with a common expansion chamber and filler across the top. They look good and keep the chill off the driver on those frosty July afternoons.

    JB Weld makes good stuff!

    It's a really successful company making da best adhesive products that was started by an ol' boy in a shed on his farm outside of Sulphur Springs , Texas. The farm's still there (now with improved farmhouse), right next to the main plant, and it still has one of the original JB Weld trailers parked out by the fence next to the highway.

    Gotta love it!
