Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Since my fuel sending unit looked beyond rusty i decided to order a new one to install... Maybe that will fix how much the gauge acts funny at times

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

I bet you're right. Just make sure you get one with the right ohms.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

WellI hope it is....According to the "Computer" its meant to fit my truck lol

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Haha that would be nice, I would like some new gauges for my truck too lol I bought some a while back but in order for me to install them I would have to go buy more stuff just to get them working don't feel like spending the money.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Yeah I hear ya there

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

but I know the truck is feeling a little empty being that it has no fenders or anything just a sitting front end.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Well work has started on the cab corners but me being the smart guy i am didnt realize that the cab corners might be welded to the inner cab corners...So as i cut it all away i quickly realized that um wtf why wont this come off...Then after ripping and cutting wham i took it all out...Opps...That wasnt suppose to happen...So cut out and got it where I want it and nso i started to weld whats left of the inner cab corner back in....What do I do now...I weld my welder tip shut AHHH off to lowes to get some tips then back to work

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Woohoo!!! Sounds good hope you get what you need done. Spot lights come in handy soo much, glad I picked up one.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Well I did not expect one cab corner to take me all day but it did!! Luckily the other cab corner is not nearly as bad as this one...

Im pretty sure im going play a little Just the tip on the other cab corner...lol


So anyway..... Cut, Welded, Grinded, Welded, Grinded, Bondo'ed the pin holes due to my sucky welding, noticed all sorts of burn wholes in my pants and arms and this is what i get

Thanks guys!!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Looks a whole lot better than anything I could do! I wish I could weld so bad! Opens up tons of possibilities. By the way, whats that trim around your door lock? I like it.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

No clue but it has to go!!! lol My trucks a GMC lol....

Welding isnt hard man....Go to harbor freight and pic up a 90 amp flux core welder...I think they are $109 right now.....Then just practice on stuff...Also will want a auto dimming helmet but i just started doing it so its not like I really know what im doing either...I started on my inner fender wells for practice

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Did you tell any lies today? Just wondered because it looks like your pants have been on fire.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

haha!! Yeah they got lit up pretty good...I have spatter marks all over my arms where they burnt through my shirt too! lol


Actually caught the sending unit cap on fire...... Anyone know where or what kind cap is on these things??? I need to get a new one

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Yeah, the old spark shower. You should have seen the guys uniforms that worked in the welding shop a my old company, looked like really bad pirate costumes, lol

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Arrrrgggg!!!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

We're not the ones setting ourselves on fire hahaha

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

LOL! It was better then the Gas tank....Which I did catch on fire a couple times but thats another story...Well really it was the fuel line for a sec and the cap on the return unit....Which I need to replace but not sure what it is lol
