How are you running your wires from the fuse block out to the engine? Do you have any pics?

[QUOTE=68 short step;3132672]got a few new parts in, so the front suspension got pulled back out.......also im glad the huge ice storm that covered masa, AZ is all melted now, and the back ordered parts are getting shipped out finally...QUOTE]

I never used the "ice storm" excuse.... maybe next time!?:lol: Again, thanks for the patience on the parts, it's nice to see them all fit up! Everything looks great!

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Nate,

Your parts make it look "That Much" better. Good Job Guys!

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Sorry I dropped the ball responding to your reply. I called VA about this and he kept asking why I wanted a Gen 4 for a pick up. He was saying it would be great for a burb or van but to much air for a pick up so I went for the Gen 2 which should be quieter. As a side note ,I read somewhere that their brackets could use the original mounting holes so I welded in studs. If not I will just wack em off and go from there.
Thanks again
BTW the Gen 2 is cable less also

killer had a gen IV and down in louisiana it worked gr8!

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E

BIGGGGGG. thats all i know.....;)

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

68 Short Step,

I was wondering because I have a narrowed 9" moser out back as well. I can't decide what I want to run.

Great Build!!!

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

got the front of the frame notched for the rack.... the rack fits fine, but the low mount alt. hits the the steering part of the rack...so a adaptor bracket is gonna be made to locate the alt. out and clocked at about 20* so it'll fit without hitting anything.....

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

also if anyone wants to know how these builds go with parts comeing in almost everyday, this is about 2weeks of boxes stacked up, and most of the boxes have boxed inside ......:lol:

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Man, looks like it's gonna be a chore routing the steering linkage from the column to the steering box!

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

its gonna be about a 45* angle from the steering column to the rack, the manufacture says that 65* or less is fine, so we should be fine;)

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Looking killer. What rack are you using?

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

This looks about like my corner in my friends shop where all my stuff is, except I have a set of wheels and tires in the stack too. :lol:

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Can you tell me a little about how you did your notch? What size pipe, etc. I bought a bolt on notch but thinking of sending it back and doing this instead. I was thinking of boxing the inner frame for strength. Do you think it needs it?

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c8...k/100_1348.jpg

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

sure, i used a 4" ID pipe with a .125" wall....i cut 3" (or the width of the bottom of your frame), at a slight angle (cause these frames do a joggle, where the notch needs to go)....once i had the round peice, i cut it in half so i had two half circles....found the centerline of the half circles, and matched it up to the centerline of the rearend(post 89 kinda shows this)....made a mark around the half circles, cut them out, then weld in the notch...
as for boxing the frame there, it cant hurt.....do i think its strong enough and safe without boxing it, yes......

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Good lookin build their 68 short step

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

ok, i got the new alt bracket fabbed up....it spaces the alt out about 1 5/16" and clocks it 20* to clear the rack......also had to remove the ear off the alt. (since it was clocked)... also got some new sheetmetal hung, the fit on the front fender is good (little hole enlargeing, to get proper gaps), and the door is decent.....it will require a bit more massaging, welding, and cutting (more on this later).....but it cames with the aftermarket panels, i guess.....
also got some bed panels in too....the rear cross sills are polished stainless steal (still have the protective film on in the pics tho) and the bedsides are original ones (from the boys at stoked out in rockwall TX)
the one center cross sill (goes between the tires) is too long ,do to the rear end being narrowed, so it will need to be trimmed.....also the bed wood will need to be raised a bit to clear the rearend houseing, and the tubs widened, but that was planned on anyways.....here are a few pics...

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

bit more progress, i got the door fitting the best it could.....the gaps sucked (aftermarket door), expecially around the window frame.....it was too tight on the upper aft part of the window opening, then it tappered to about a 1/4" gap in the middle, and then went to about a 1/32" at the upper front.......what i had to do was cut the door at the front door piller, then remove 1/8" of material, pull the front frame back....that took care of the front piller gap....on the rest of the window frame i pushed the rear of the window frame forward, then shaves off about 1/16" to get the gaps good......

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

here is a bit of an update....
got the rear step notch installed, (the old c-notch wasnt doing it for us) so with the step notch we were able to lower it about 2" more..... here is some pics, the shocks will be added shortly, when the bridge goes in..... also keep in mind that the tires on there now (rear) are for rollers only, they are 31"....

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

That's starting to look like a truck!!!!! When's the projected completion date?

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

got a bit of an update.....
im back on the dash/center console....i got the side peices made......the center console is kinda challenging (because i wanted to make it out of 1 peice), so instead of making it out of 1 peice, its gonna be 4 peices welded together....here are the side peices, they have a rolled top (kinda see this in the pics), and also im gonna make a inner structure to support the weight of our electronics, arm rest, and just general wear and tear it'll receive.....
also here is the side profile of how the truck sits now with 30" tires rear and 27.5" tires on the front (both on 15" wheels).......
