That looks great! what are the specs on the wheels?

X2 really like that look! Who's the mfr?

texjake · 12-19-2013, 10:28 PM

I finished installing the passenger side window regulator, the new window channel weather stripping (door glass felt run channel) and the fuzzies aka the scrappers or anti-rattle are installed. The junk yard/new window regulator works great! The window doesn't fall down now when I shut the door. And I didn't even break the glass putting it back in, kudos to me! Now I'm just waiting for the new arm rests to come in.

I tried (in vain) to see if I could get a fellow board member to part out his stepside bed so I could get his passenger side fender. Oh well, I ended up encouraging him to sell it all at once then prayed that he could.

It was cool talking with a fellow member and that made the call worthwhile.

Thanks ole, it just takes a little time & a whole lot of money. But hey, that's what makes it fun!

alloutpro · 12-20-2013, 07:18 PM

Put all new fuel lines and fuel pump...went for a cruise and wasted an hour drooling on a new tranny.......

Lees68GMC · 12-20-2013, 07:27 PM

Hey Texjake, It's snowing here and I have to work outside, so not doing it right now, But I have the window channels, (whole kit & trim everything you mentioned) and rubber Vent window gaskets also complete. Any insights, tricks to make it easier or just go for the obvious?

I won't forget about you if the complete bed don't sell. It was nice talking with you also. I enjoyed your "trip to the hospital" story. After we got off the phone I told my wife about it.....

allens4876 · 12-21-2013, 01:20 AM

today i installed the hei distributor, replaced the thermostat, and started on my 5 speed swap. i cut out the small hump and drilled holes for the high hump. i searched for a shifter, but to no luck. the shifter for the 90 nv3500 has been discontinued. so i made one myself, glad i did too because i paid a total of $0.64 for it. i had a long piece of rod laying in the garage i used.

Don't feel bad, I do all my work on my truck outside as well, so I know how you feel. I have sent you a PM on how I tackled the task of replacing the window weather stripping & the fuzzies aka anti-rattles & the scrappers.

Andy4639 · 12-21-2013, 08:51 AM

I'm having the 305 TPI motor swapped out for a 6.0 LSx motor.

Check your ground strap between your engine or frame to the one connected to your cab. That is if your battery is fully charged.

lolo33 · 12-21-2013, 03:05 PM

thanks. After control, it was just a little issue with battery clip.
now it works

john@thepier · 12-21-2013, 05:03 PM

I called the owner of the body/shop today that has had my truck for like 8 years and told him to get working on it, I've done this every other month for years now. I also told him that I just may have to take his butt to court if he did not get it done, or give me all my money back that I have paid him in advance and I'll find another shop to finish it. Guy offered me a deal, which I have in writing on the labor rate for helping him out $ during a hard time he was having. Hardly a deal when its taking this long. Granted though I never did put in a date of completion, and the work he is doing is the very top on notches. Money always seems to make enemies out of friends. So I guess I did at least something for my truck today!! Ha. John

Wow! Hope all turns out well after such a long wait

mud.man.rj · 12-21-2013, 08:24 PM

That is extremely long on the truck, but sounds like things will start to happen now, to bad it has to be that hard.

In The Ten Ring · 12-22-2013, 07:17 PM

I went over to Sears and picked up my Craftsman Double Flare Kit for when I replace my entire fuel (hard) lines.

dirtymax67 · 12-22-2013, 11:13 PM

Finally got the truck in the garage so I can begin work on it

Maybe some of you can do some video's on the metal work you do on your trucks, so the rest of us novices might learn something... Nice work......
