got intercooler pipeing in
got other side of bed primed and back
primed underside of cab and the back of it
started redoing wiring harness
removed wires not needed was alot
extra pins removed from ecm
how it looks now every wire in harness will be made longer or shorter to route wires where i want them
still have some body work to do on bed but easier to see when its one color
