Verry nice!


" I think I turned out great and I've had beer." The beer or the truck?

Sold/ Delivered the Apache Saturday, picked up the super cool engine for the Suburban on Sunday and have laid out a transformation plan starting the first week of December.

Well, I finally found a sepentine belt that will fit over my Dorman power steering pulley. Bought the PS pump on Ebay, not realizing it didn't have a pulley on it. Bought the pulley on Rockauto, not realizing it was larger than stock and wouldn't take the stock belt.

So, after the holidays the motor gets plugs & a coolant temp sensor. If the parts I ordered every show up, I could bolt up the 4l60E & put the whole mess in the truck before New Years.

I finished shrinking my steering wheel and installed it today. Took a tip from Skymangs (sweet 16 build) and used an early 80's Ford ring. Got a new horn button and contacts so my horns work now too. The wheel looks white in the pic but it's the same light grey as the interior.

I got the wheel from Pull-A-Part for $12 and epoxy cost $20, so cost was $32 plus sandpaper and paint.

Put my new fenton headers on. Painted the fentons and the stock intake with VHT Ceramic Aluminum paint. I hope it holds up, whenever I have it back on the road.

Well, on the four day weekend I got the front fenders, bumper, radiator support and hood hinges off and took out the seat. Found an abandoned mouse nest and a dead mouse under the seat and cleaned up the interior with a vacuum.

Went to Pick-N-Pull and the wife and I pulled a set of Cadillac Catera seats for her truck. They say they are made by Recaro. Super comfy, classic looks to them for being modern bucket seats. She originally wanted bench seats until she saw these.
