Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Wow, was starting to get disheartened, glad you guys posted up....

mounted my bowtie on the grille today, not sure if there is a top and bottom

perfect patina to match my truck, also played around with my bed side rails, but I'm not sure if I'm junking up the truck. sorta like adding another window to the taj mahal, you guys let me know

Eyebrows ARE a *****. And it doesn't matter if they are original or re-pops.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I was wondering how long it would take you GMC guys, that has done eyebrows to chime in. Yes, truly a PITA

started to fool around with the last piece of my cooling system. bought this hose to cut up for the angles

Thanks for watching AJ

I was browsing the truck side and saw it was available, had some money in my pocket, next thing I know it was on my porch

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Looking good! Dang, I love the look of those LT1 intakes. Seems like you're buttoning up lots of loose ends.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Hey Jim, jmo but I'm not a fan of the side rails maybe if it were part amphibious you know some place to tie it off too. Lol. I also love the tpi setup use to have two GTA trans am. Thanks for the pics
Bill

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

yeah, just trying to get it ready for the 2nd street speed, he's doing the harness, big burden off my back!!!!

Always liked the look of the TPI, but if the FI works, I'll change it out for a englese or hilabrandt

Bill, thanks for bringing that up, I've been on the fence with that one. And, you're right, doesn't quite fit the direction I want to go. Good thing I didn't buy that NOS set that is available

Maybe, I should have built an Amphicar
Well, back to work on the throttle bracket, weird, my kick down cable only moves 3/4" and my throttle cable moves 2"

my ashtray kept falling out due to the plastic rails broken, went to my spare center section I bought years ago, and it had good rails. 4 Phillip screws later, all excess able from the front bottom, and my ashtray doesn't fall out any more.

it is easier if the radio is removed

you can see the threads of the two screws on the left side of the bracket (top and bottom)

Maybe Wes will see this and will work for his next project

some of the handy work of the PO, some people shouldn't have access to tools, but luckily the mounting buckets cover 2/3 of the hole

My Jimmy has the same plastic guides. I wish they had stayed with the old ball bearing style.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I agree with you Tom

I have to build a kick down cable adapter,and figure out how to hook it up, then on to the cruise control

[url=https://flic.kr/p/UmGBTo]https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2835/3...f3bb2c56_c.jpg

put the last plug in the cooling system, time to fire up the electric w/p. Thick I forget gaskets on the w/p

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

does anyone have a pic. of the actual part that the cable is swagged to, and then goes to the throttle blade? Thought I had one

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Hey Jim! Done yet?

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

sorry J for not posting up, seems I myself have been the project of late. Between my vascular surgeon, and my cardiologist, I've needed a complete rebuild... should be good to go, as I've had my surgeries done yesterday! A couple days recovery and should be back at it

Ya never know which way a project will progress, but I haven't given up yet. Hopefully, I'll have something to report in the next week or so

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Glad to hear ya came out on the good side Jim! Get well soon.

Richard

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thanks Richard for the well wishes, been quite boring around here, going from the TV, to reading books on either the front porch or the back porch, where ever the sun was coolest. But I am current, on all the authors I read.LOL

Today was a success, as I weed whacked most of the yard, which was great as I had NO pain in my legs, maybe even able to cut the grass

3-4 months of sitting on my arse, has gotten quite old

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Jim glad you're ok, I thought maybe you we're going to surprise us all with a brand new paint job.lol
Slow and steady usually gets done.
Best wishes Bill

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Sorry, no surprises here Bill, paint is the last on my list. I'll drop off a fender or door off at Maaco at a time and call it good, my cowl came out really nice

I'd really like to fire the motor up, but still have some connections to make

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Jim,
been busy with seasonal maintenance and not on board much ,saw this tonight glad to hear your doing ok
Jess

Re: PO has me PO'd
