Truck build

I tracked down some 6 cylinder e series in a junkyard. I'm thinking about playing hooky from work tomorrow and going and getting the steering stuff..... My pump is toast and leaking like crazy so I need to fix asap and that aftermarket pump, while what id prefer, just much more involved. The van stuff is simple unbolt old and install new with no bracket modification. So I go thru my mobile toolbox this evening organize/make sure everything's there for the extraction. I get the bracket, pump, and pressure line... Hopefully won't cost an arm and a leg. Once I have those parts in hand and cleaned up I might be able to swap it after work 1 evening or tackle this weekend.
 
I keep 2 much junk inside the cab with me.... Once the 3 transfer case shifters get installed I'll lose the hump area storage. I keep my stuff in the center right now so a 3rd person isn't fitting anyway. That arm rest/center console thing broncos have would be sweet
 
That's the needed bracket and bolts/studs, a pump that appears to be in good condition w/ pulley, high and low pressure lines, and I snagged the dipstick and dipstick tube off the van. Found some lights that look real new and new heavy gauge wire with a big honking fuse. Not a bad haulScreenshot_20240426-174433~2.png

The van dipstick tube would make it to were I wouldn't have to reach down into the engine bay to check the oil. This is a pic of the interweb of 1 installed on a truck. I think I like that and may swap them out. The sticks like 85 feet long hahahaha

The 2 lowest mounting bolts on my truck holding the bracket on are just that...bolts. on the van engine there were 2 studs. I grabbed them off the van engine and may screw them into my block.
 
Well....the 3 lights work. I was looking at bending some flatbar that would stick out right below the hood and attaching that to the core support. The factory light bracket has adjustment built into it so I just need something to stick out and support the weight of it. The light would be just above the top of the winch control box. The 2 little lights will probably become auxiliary reverse lights off the back of the truck somewhereScreenshot_20240426-225410~2.png
