"Geronimo" 54' 3100 LS built in PA

[99 to Life]

7-4-18 Lots of thins getting wrapped up on Geronimo. I would like to announce I finally drove it out of the garage and up the street on June 30th!! Trans shifted right away so its working, but will prolly have to set it to shift at a higher RPM. I took .75" out of the rear blocks and it made a big difference, these photos have with and without the cut blocks. hood fits like crap but man I'm glad I even got it to latch so far. It was seriously out of wack. Had to make those hood braces for the front out of scratch, things like that you just don't always foresee in a build.

Redid the stock gauges, will do speedo conversion later. need to hook up heater/AC and wire up the interior lights and all the wiring is done. Hooked horn up also. Put new lock cylinders in doors. Stupid me didn't make sure I could get the handles off, bf I already set the doors. So i had to take doors off, weld nuts onto the clutch heads so I could remove the door handles.

Nice to finally drive it over to my lift bay, put it on there and aligned it the best I could, tightened everything up and put the sway bar on.

Biggest issue I have right now is the Efan, i realized I have it pushing instead of pulling, but.... the fan is still not kicking off even at like 180, so I dunno if I have the relay wired wrong or what the deal is. Never had that happen. but when you shut truck off, the fan will run and run and run. This is one example of why I LOVE a kill switch in the cab, I just shut the main pwr off. Its great safety, convenience, theft protective.

I will hopefully get some driving footage soon. He has to register the truck and we will then get it inspected. Tires on it now are mine and won't pass, so he is just gonna try some port o walls. I gotta see if the wipers work too. and do ebrake, and do the door panels and headliner!
