Should be able to find that loom, I think it ducks under the brake booster and heads back...oh YEAH, brake lines...gotta remove those from master cylinder. Vacuum booster line to manifold. Vacuum lines to the reserve canisters/wipers.
What stage is your truck at now? What all do you have removed so far?
Post pics, might was well start a build/rebuild thread, then we can follow along and help.  |
I might just have to start a build thread. I didn't intend for this to go this far getting the truck back on the road. It has been sitting for about the last 6-8 years or so in my shed. I have had it about 14 years and is time to get it going again. It has just seemed that every turn I take with it something else pops up. So I am looking ahead for what I am going to have to do.
Right now I am redoing all the brakes all the way around. Next is pulling the eng/trans to redo the heads and reseal the eng/trans. Bed,cab and front end needs pulled to blast the frame and repair some rust in the bed and cab. I really didn't want to be doing all this work to it as funds are quite limited. It is just one thing after another. If I am going to do this it isn't going to be a full blown restoration. Just do the things that need to be done and in the end try to get it painted and back on the road.
My initial plans were after getting it road worthy was new wheels, lower it, paint and in the end I want either a LS or 6.0L Vortec in it. Now all that is taking a back seat for now. I know I have alot of threads going asking questions but I like to know ahead of time what I have to look forward to. I hope this answers some questions for some of you. Thanks guys I really appreciate everything.
