That's weird, I tried refresh and still shows the same...must be my cache....

Edit: shows the 200,094 on mine now even when I refresh it....must just take a bit for it to register the views? either way...that's a lotta views

Drew...congrats on breaking the 200K threshold!

Looking like you'll have the most viewed build thread ever here in the next month or so!

And cool deal on the 1000th post

I think these wheels come in a regular finish and a polished finish. Its hard to tell looking at different Tahoes on the road. It may have been different years the polish is brighter? I went for these because they were highly polished, but still not chromed.

It keeps getting better!

ChevyGuyNC · 09-28-2011, 08:14 PM

As everyone else has said... wow. Just wow. Fantastic work! Can't wait to see the final touches.

Mr Pops · 09-28-2011, 08:47 PM

I've been glued to this build from the day you cut a mint suburban in half, don't think I've commented yet though. I absolutely love the truck, love the balance between old and new, love the color scheme, I'm surprised how much I like the late model wheels on this body style! I think this truck would look great at ANY ride height. Now that it's FINALLY starting to look like a truck, I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see more!

PS: Cool garage

Don't need the help just yet, I still have to mount the rear air bags, panhard rod, rear brake dust shields, e-brake cables, hard brake lines, shock mounts, and shocks. Then I need the helpers.

Hubscrub · 09-28-2011, 10:02 PM

Yup, that's great progress for sure.

drewskiren · 09-29-2011, 09:04 AM

Speaking of progress, I made a little.

Radiator support is on for the last time, fenders and fender liners too.

My spaghetti dinner all slipped through the giant wiring hole, huge plastic connectors and all.

I had to trim the bottom inside edges of the fender liners to let them clear the wider late model frame. I took out a 4 inch by 4 inch corner.

**oldman3** · 09-29-2011, 09:20 AM

Now that's a lot of spaghetti, what no cheeze.....Jim

**67cheby** · 09-29-2011, 09:29 AM

looking great...ya that is ALOT of wiring !!

Sure is, but I may be going to go out on a limb here, but I'll just bet that Drew has a plan that will make it look simple.

Thanks for that vote of confidence, but really I'll be winging it. I hope there's no in-flight disaster.

VA72C10 · 09-29-2011, 11:08 AM

Nice work! On the harness...the simple wiring is one of the things I enjoy about these trucks...so I don't envy you at all at this stage of the build

But I see all the labels so hopefully you'll make quick work of sorting out what goes where

thor · 09-29-2011, 12:54 PM

Will you need a shorter master cylinder resevoir or will it clear the hood? (Sorry if it's already been covered)

If I measured correctly I think I should need a piece of felt on the cap. It's that close. I needed to get it up off of the steering column and shift linkage. It is covered earlier, but don't remember what page.

mcbassin · 09-29-2011, 01:33 PM

Nice work Drew! I thought I had a bunch of wires to deal with......looks like you have me beat

**Palf70Step** · 09-29-2011, 03:45 PM

Wiring is always soooo much fun. Stein is loooking really good!

**LEEVON** · 09-29-2011, 04:50 PM

Wow, I'm either really dense or wound up tight...you said your spaghetti dinner slipped and I'm thinking "why is he eating in the truck" and "that's dedication" and "man, I wish my wife would bring dinner to the garage"...then I scrolled down and saw the "spaghetti" mess of wiring.

Did you end up using those manifolds, if so how do they fit?
