Finishing up with the jambs. Today is a pretty good day. My 5th grandchild was born too!

Are you planning to run the OE fender flares on the rear? I see the holes in the front but not on the bed.

Looks a lot better with the bed back on. Still a little more buffing and painting the flares black.

Finally got her home today. I'm helping my father-in-law put a new floor in his shed, but if I don't get called in to work I'll start working on this again.
The grill and flares are in the cab, probably do those first. |
Re: 97 3500 454 4x4 project
I bet that feels great!

I've got a little done to it, but I'll have most of the day today. What little time I had yesterday I was able to get the cab lights and cargo lights on with led lights, first time they've worked in years I bet, plus the grill and started on the flares.

Dosen't show a lot, but I did get the bars on, finished cleaning the seals and got those back on. Put the outside door handles on and that locking link was a chore! Taped up the plastic on the inside of the doors again, just need to double check on the speaker wires in the back before I put the panels on. Anyone know if I have to hook those wires up anywhere? I hooked the speakers up on one side, but didn't get any sound so something is amiss.
The tow mirrors are on though I have to wire them up before the front panels go back. At least it's coming together. |

Nice job on this thing! It has come a long way from when you started.

I've got the back door panels on and spent a good part of yesterday working on the speakers in them. I went and checked 88gmc's thread after having no sound and saw the doors are wired, but dead end in the pillar. So, I pulled the pillar panels back off and spliced into the rear speaker wires, which ran along the bottom of the pillar under the carpet to the rear. I ran wires for the right side under the carpet to splice on that side to keep from having to pull the rear panel off from that side.

Amazing how a couple of small things can take so long, especially when its your truck. Pulling wires thru can be so tedious but rewarding. Looks great.

A guy I work with is going to scrap out his 96 that was in an accident and told me I could have what I wanted before he hauled it off. I got a few things just in case, it was picked over pretty good though.
I've been busy, seems like everyone wants to take vacation in the summer, but I've got a few days now that I can finally work on the truck again. I do have the flares bolted on, had to take the wheelwells off to do it, but running the camera cable to the back should be much easier now. |
