Thanks Kevin,
I'm glad you posted that pic, I wanted to ask you about the rail you shaved off just below the ccowl, won't that let water rund down the firewal more since it doesn't have any where to go now, or am I

Looks sweet Rokcrln! So what are you going to do with all the wires and stuff like the fuse block, speedometer wire, winshield wipers, ebrake and so on. I would love to do something very similiar to that. Thanks

i,am gonna do that to my firewall. they only rust i have on my whole truck is in the heater air intake across the front of the firewall and i was perplexed as how to fix it. after seeing how nice these firewalls look its going to be how i do mine except i want factory air . that lip removed across the top looks killer. chevy should have done that......

damn, my truck started off the same color then we added more tangerine and gold pearl in it to make it look brighter cause i didnt like it at first. your engine bay looks sick!!!

for those of you with the shaved firewall, are you not running a heater?

i thought about removing mine because it will be parked for the winter, and i don't have AC, so there's really no need for a heater.

I will be using an aftermarket heat& A/C, only thing you will see is the bulk head where the four fittings will be for the hoses.

[Rokcrln]

On project Lomon Drop he has Heat and A/C and an 18 circut Painless harness and you will see none of it when finished!

so where are the heater core lines going? is there a kit for this?

[cstm68]

i put it in the same spot under the dash, i just had the cut the whole in the firewall a little bigger.
i will post some pics soon!

That is one nice looking orange truck

[gregfull]

Thanks for all the compliments! I plan to use a painless harness also, but my battery and fuse block is going to be relocated to the rear of the suburban, all wiring will be hidden (as best as possible). As for my A/C and heat, I will be using a Vintage Air system and all plumbing (heater lines and a/c lines) will be run between the fender and cab fresh air area, (it'll be tight, but it will be hidden). My goal is to have as few wires and lines exposed as possible, all of my lines will be custom bent stainless tubing. Thanks again. Greg
