This stage is always a nervous time. For me anyway. This is just so perfect I don’t foresee any issues ……. This is really getting exciting now.  

Jeff, sorry for being late with this - not been 100%, past few days.  I'll certainly second the nervousness thing - most of what's remaining seems to be getting harder!

Bit under the weather, so haven't been doing any actual work.  But, needed to resolve a couple of routing issues, so I placed the cab on the frame to get some idea where I need to get looms, etc., to go.

 

The looms from the connector modules on the right hand side are close to final position, just a bit crossed up at the moment -

 

 

I hope to figure out something to clamp the blue, plow light runs to the frame rail; the loom from the ECM module is also just stuck out in the air at the moment and needs to be tucked between the starter and the block -

 

The red wire to the distribution box is also just temporarily in place, but gives me an idea of what it will look like when finally hooked up.  You can also see where I previously cracked the skirt around the air intake plenum opening -

 

Hope to be back at it in a few more days!

Don’t worry. Just get better as feeling off centre is most uncomfortable.

First, get to feeling better, hope it is nothing serious. Second, I think you are posting pictures from the real truck buddy, your not fooling us. 😂🤭🤣🫣
