Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Thanks!! From the pic I may need to get another wash to life the cab a bit to match the lines up but until its bolted down im not sure...May even still be sitting on some cardboard lol

Rus is like a leprechaun....When he comes around you can see da gold finger!! lol

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Those are SLICK!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Yeah man, it SUCKED. Lots of cussing going on. They were the bolts that were inside the bumper that held the bumper to the bracket. I couldn't get an angle grinder in there, so I busted out the dremel and the tiny cut off discs. I couldn't get to the bolt stems, so I hit the nuts with the dremel. Finally came apart though.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

OK I think I know the answer to this because it seems like the most logical answer but ill ask anyway.... I bolted my bed back up tonight and the lines are all sorts of messed up.... The bed lines are too high on the drivers side and slightly lower on the passenger side to match up to the cab.... Replacing the rear cab bushing might of done this and i tightened them with my impact until they wouldnt anymore....So does that mean I probably tightened them too much or un-evenly???

Thats what i think because the bed is on the frame with no additional things underneath it....Allthough the rear bumper needs to be adjusted a bit as its lower on the passenger side

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Put a level across the top of the front bed rail, and this will tell you if the bed or the cab is uneven. I was replacing the bushings on my radiator support, and the fenders wouldn't line up, and I had the wrong bushings in there ,lol. Idk what kind of instructions came with your set, but mine sucked and didn't say anything about what went where. If your bed is out of level, you could use washers to shim it. If its the cab, you might have something else goin on.

Bed is level

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Its not uncommon to have to shim (add washers) the cab to match the bed when replacing the cab bushings..

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

ok its just weird since one side is high one side is low but cool....Hopefully i can level it out....Hopefully i can get the brake lens reinstalled tomorrow

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

If you don't get it right perhaps we could help you at Chuck's meet!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

haha ill bring some stuff so we can...Much easier with a real jack to wedge stuff in :) Prob would only take a few secs...Chuck stuff first though :)

Im thinking of skipping training as im try to rehab this knee and stay off it so im gonna try to get there early :)

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Glad you will be there early, but sorry about the knee. with all the people that will be at Chuck's, I'm sure you will be able to get some help. Matter of fact, I KNOW you can, cause I will help you if I can.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

FRUSTRATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So i ws determined to get the truck in running condition for sat so today goal was to reinstall the tail lights....Tested brakes and running light then blinkers.....Passenger side would work but driver side would just turn off the running light and not blink!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think i figured it out....The hacked in trailer wiring is using butt connectors at the connection point..They were all wrapped together so i unwrapped them and bent each in a different direction...Put the rear light wire back together and everything seems to work but thats it...Nothing else has been done as i now need to either wrap them with electrical wire separately or re-wire the trailer wire all together....ERG ERG ERG ERG...So basically i accomplished nothing for the last 2 hours other then running my batt dead and having to jump the truck twice

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Wiring sucks!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

well that might be whats going on with my truck!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Success!! All lights are now working...Re-Installed the gauge cluster, dashpad, bezel, and readjusted the throttle cable AGAIN!!! UGH.....lol Also removed the second spring as it was making it too hard to push the pedal....Much better now.....Drove her around a few million times to get her just right....LOL

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Picked up some stuff this weekend from Matt (Cubber).. Cant wait to put the rims on and cant wait to see if the headers fit

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

dang I'm glad you cleaned those rims up before you took em inside

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

nice!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

loving the headers and rims. you mentioned there chevelle headers, some guys on here have used them on there squares. said they fit with little to no problems just like the flowtec headers i have. which ill be making them like new again and selling for an offer.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Ordered a new throttle bracket that should prevent my throttle bracket from getting loose. Also ordered some more wiring to work on the cluster as the last set I had issues with pulling pins loose but i ordered a auto wire stripper to prevent that from happening as well.. :) So soon back to doing some crazy wiring o yeah!!! lol
