Yep, just gonna block of the extras and the fuel gauge works but I think we did adjust the float to reach the bottom.

Re: The Fuse is Lit...
 

Ok thanks for the info!

Re: The Fuse is Lit...
 

I did some test fitting today because I needed to see about hiding some wires and if the Captainfab brake booster bracket was going to work with my column.

I took some pics so I could reference them later, thought you might want to see them.

I still have a lot of touching up to do and some rewiring but so far it seems the wires are going to be hid pretty well.

Re: The Fuse is Lit...

Re: The Fuse is Lit...
 

Well, I got the bracket and booster painted and re-mounted

I also put her back on the ground so I could look at the clearance. I have around 5 in of room but I have these old tires are 29 in so my clearance will be and inch or two lower.

I really need to decide on the wheels, I keep going back and forth on 18's and 20's. I am actually sick of trying to figure it out, but I have the doors and fenders wet sanded and they will be painted soon so it is time to decide!!!

Re: The Fuse is Lit...
 

Tires are cheaper and much more common for 20s

The booster looks right at home on the firewall.
I'm with Mike the 20s seem to have a much wider selection than 18s.
That has to be your decision though.

Sounds like good progress on the body panels. You are so close.....:chevy:

Re: The Fuse is Lit...
 

Yeah, I noticed that... I gotta say I like the way the 20's fill the fender, but running 4" of sidewall is something I have never done before and honestly I wonder if it will affect ride quality.

Thanks for the compliments, Mike. Have you decided on wheels yet?

I think I am getting closer until I remember those bedsides...makes my fingers hurt just thinkin about sanding it. lol

Re: The Fuse is Lit...
 

The ole girl is looking good. Where did you get your radiator if you dont mind sharing?

Re: The Fuse is Lit...
 

honestly, I like the coys but it will be a long time before I actually buy some.
It will be one of my last purchases. I really don't want to do it twice,

Re: The Fuse is Lit...
 

Thanks! The radiator is from Speedway, I got it for around $150 if I remember correctly and that included shipping.

Re: The Fuse is Lit...
 

LOL. I hear ya brother... once is gonna be rough enough!

Re: The Fuse is Lit...
 

Put in the speaker enclosures. I decided to wait on a speaker box behind the seat and utilize the space for storage for now, the bolt holes for the gas tank stuck out pretty bad so I had a piece of metal bent to cover them.

Thanks!

I am taking that as a compliment!!

Re: The Fuse is Lit...
 

i just read the entire thread. Very nice truck and very informative. I can't wait to see what's next.

I was debating on shortening my truck from a long bed step to a short wide, as I going to talk to a guy tomorrow about a short bed donor soon. I've been eying it for a little bit.

I'm digging the red too.

Oh, and as far as driving in KC. If you ever go up again, hit me up. I just moved from there in Nov., I can give you some round about ways so you don't have to go right through down town KC.

What did you do with the 6 lug steelies?

Keep up the awesome job. :chevy::metal:

Re: The Fuse is Lit...
 

Wow great build ! Don't know why I didn't found it sooner.

Re: The Fuse is Lit...
 

Thanks, I am glad you like it. I hope that I never have to go through downtown KC again.lol But if I do I will definately get a heads up from you.

I traded the steelies to a guy here locally.


Thanks for the compliments!

Re: The Fuse is Lit...
 

Looking good. Is the stereo connected to see how the speakers sound? I've been wondering if they buzz or anything before I commit to buying a set for my truck.

As for the wheels, maybe look at 17" if you don't want the larger wheels. Pretty common OEM tire size now (our denali has them).
