Aaron, the truck is looking good. I won't say anything but, I like the idea of going to the stock tails. I think it will look nice for you. Maybe you should just blow the big chunk and get the LED set that Dakota Digital offers. They do look good.

Thanks Gerald so fair I switched to stock turn signals, I think I'll save up for some led tail lights, I finished a few things on my do list adjusted the windshield wipers so they'll wipe, worked on adjusting my headlight but the headlight buckets are wallered out were the adjuster go. so I'll go junkyarding for some good used ones, and went to harbor freight and they had a low and high chrome plated snail shaped horns for 10 bucks. The air horns I got from them sound funny aren't loud but the new ones sound great. Then I need to figure out how I'm going to hook up the heater hoses

Once you get the hoses hooked up, take some pics. I'm curious how that thing will work foy you. I may be buying one of those Mojave heaters later. Keep up the great work!

Re: my 80 build
 
I worked on a few things, hooked up the heater, fixed the back up lights they never worked since I've had the truck, added a extra under the dash light, there a lot more interior light, redid the gauge panel, also for Christmas I got for my truck was 100 amp one wire alternator and msd plug wires

Sweet looks like you picked a good time to get the heater working. :D

flamingbig10 12-29-2009 11:03 PM

Re: my 80 build
 
yes I did works good but I need add a hotter thermostat though I have a 160 but Ill switch it back to a 190

JohnC 12-31-2009 09:02 AM

Re: my 80 build
 
How was the 160? That is the one I'm putting in mine. I won't be driving it much during the winters, but was just wondering.

flamingbig10 12-31-2009 11:13 AM

Re: my 80 build
 
it did good the only reason I changed it was because I couldn't get the old one to work right it would go to 250 wile I was driving then I would stop and it would go back to 180

That looks damn good man. Wow, might i add my 0.02? Remove that fuel filter and replace with a fram, i know i know the frams aren't as pretty, believe me i said the same with my 71, but trust me, throw that tiny thing, ur truck wants more fuel.

But wow. I dig the diamond plate! and yes, stock lights /w/ leds (amera lights) look waaaay better than those damn euro lights... amera lights, joke joke.
