Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
Been putting in a few late nights with the wiring and plumbing.... Using a Painless harness and various other items sourced from Waytek Wire ( http://www.waytekwire.com/products/ ). If you need specialty wiring components, this is the place to get it! For fuel lines, I'm running Fragola fittings and black nylon braided race hose. The Aeromotive Phantom system is in place, and came out great. I highly recommend these to anyone wanting a quality fuel system.

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
Thanks, Marc. It's kind of hard to get excited about wiring and plumbing... a little on the tedious side, but as I'm sure you know, it's small details like this that can make or break a high quality build. I'm going the extra mile to solder any new connections and sealing them up with heat shrink. Adds a lot of time, but worth it. I'll post some more pics when I get back to the fun stuff.

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
Wiring can sure test your patience. Truck is really coming together.

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
I really like th alt I got from you. It'll look sweet when I install it. For now it is on a shelf along with a lot of other parts. I am waiting for the rain to stop.

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
Finished up some more of the plumbing this past weekend. Been busy with snow removal the last couple of days and trying to stay warm. Thermometer said -13 this morning and the weatherman says a -40 windchill! Heard on the radio that most of the Midwest has been colder than Siberia and every state except Hawaii saw freezing temps yesterday. Well that's enough of the weather report. I'll be getting the engine and trans ready to drop in soon. Stay tuned...

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
Unfortunately, I promised my wife that it will be her turn to spend some money... DOH! I'll be busy putitng an addition on the house and remodeling the kitchen. But after that, I'm hoping build a bigger shop and find a solid Chevelle to restore. I'm thinking of doing a clone LS6, but use an LSx 454 and a Tremec 6 speed with full Detroit Speed suspension. But, at this point, it's just a day dream.

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
Mike
The truck is looking good. I think the color choice is spot on and he did a great job on the bodywork and paint. How are things at Burr Oak? Since I am out of the coil industry now, I don't hear from them guys anymore...

Good to hear from you, again. Thanks for the support. Burr Oak has been pretty busy. We've released a newly designed hairpin bender and they are doing really well. They have a youtube video of it if you want to check it out ( ) |

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
The Aeromotive Phantom pump is wired and plumbed. Just have to finish the wiring on the sending unit and add some ground leads and the back will be ready to mount the bed. The factory cargo light housing was retained, except it will be wired as a third brake light with a red LED bulb.

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
Not much progress this week. I ordered a few L.E.D. bulbs for the front park/turn signals, reverse lights, and for the 3rd brake light. Should be back on it this weekend for some more wiring action and prepping the engine and trans for the final install.

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
Not a really great pic, but the 3rd Brake Light works as planned. Spent some time finishing off the Hushmat with seam tape. Just about through the tedious stuff. It'll be nice to put some time in and be able to see a noticeable difference...

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
Starting some work on the core support. Getting a few of the A/C lines in and the condesor. Did a little more on finalizing the wiring and brake lines, just have to finish the stretch from the master cylinder to the frame rail. I'll be getting the inner fenders mounted soon and dropping the engine/trans in.

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
The condenser was sourced from Early Classic Enterprises, but the remaining components are from Vintage Air. I used the standard Parker hose with crimp-on ends. If I were to do it again, I'd use the Eaton EZClip System, which is also available from Vintage Air through The Gearbox Garage. (Here's a link to a youtube video of the EZClip Systme) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAXHb...ature=youtu.be

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
Finally got to put some time in on the '71 C10 this weekend. Installed the inner fenders and tied up a few loose ends. Set the front tire in place to get a visual. It'll be a lot lower when its back on the ground and the engine is in.
