Wow time flies! I have been able to get lots of stuff done, just haven't taken the time to document it here as well as I should have.
At this point the gas tank, front seats, front heater, blower motor, all glass, interior knobs/switches, rear heater, wiper motors, glove box, tire carrier, and heater hoses are pretty much done. Working on wiring next and hope to get it started for the first time in the next couple weeks.
A few pics to document some progress with more posts to follow soon:

Front heater before and after, sticker from aatlas1x and a new heater core:
Very very niiice!!! 
After picking myself off the floor all I have to say is Awesome! Amazing attention to detail and craftsmanship. You should park this in your drive way, stand in front of it like superman, and challenge any random passerby to challenge your badassitude.

Thanks for the compliments so far guys, its been a fun project so far and I can't wait to take it for a drive!
Got a little done over the weekend, started to tackle the wiring harness. I put the harness on a sheet of wood and held the harness in place with velcro loops, I saw this on coolerman's site and it has worked great so far. Unfortunately the dreaded PO struck and the harness will take a little more work then I hoped; but shouldn't be too bad.

Judging by what I've seen you do so far, this harness will look brand new once your done with it!!
Just looks so clean, but I too am looking forward to you taking it out for a drive...looking forward to learning more about the performance of your uber clean brake set-up

Oh my, looking fantastic!
Hey if you need any wire or wiring parts to finish this just send me an email. (I even have a full brand new harness that fits your truck if your interested. Someone ordered it then canceled after I built it...) I'll be out next week on vacation in Moab but could ship out anything you need this week.

Thanks a lot Mark, I actually ordered all new connectors from you about a month ago, so I am good on parts.

A pretty successful week(end), after what seemed like an eternity replacing, cleaning and routing wires the "rebuilt/restored" main wire harness is all back in. All the terminal were replaced, any suspect wire replaced and everything was cleaned and re-wrapped. Since I have an '84 2F I also had to change the wiring to the alternator, oil pressure sender, and add a voltage supply for the idle solenoid. Before I wrapped it all back up every wire was checked with an ohmmeter to make sure it wouldn't have to come back apart.
Onto some pics, the leftovers from rebuilding the harness, overall harness on the floor and some detail of the fuse block:
