#3 The Sickness Continues

[protrash64]

Installed the third brake lite today. Fairly easy to do. The hardest part was fishing over the wire, and it wasn't too bad. Of course the dome lite was rigged in there so now I have to fix that......

Sweet truck Protrash. Just walked thru the thread, nice mod's. The tailgate color matching is impressive.

Quite the collection you got going there.

I am envious of the posts where you are working in the driveway in the middle of "winter". Although I suppose that summer is quite "toasty".

Truck is looking good you are dong a great job turning that truck around real quick. I'm thinking like Dino, I should have bought that truck too...

I need to take a run to the East side and hang out. Probably need to get a hotel room for the night and make it a stay-cation


Keep the pics coming!

Thanx much!!! The tailgate color match was more like dumb luck...but that works too!! I definitely use winter as much as possible to try and get things done and it is my favorite time of year. I've worked outside for 20 years so my adjectives are a little stronger than toasty.

Thanx Tony; I've been trying hard to get all the stuff done and I've fixed quite a bit more than I intended, but I think we know how that goes. If your up for an eastside run your more than welcome. I've gone out to the cruise that PMD frequents and figured I'd meet him at some point. I'm roughly in east-central Mesa.

Nice work on your ride, by the way, it looks super nice.

Some work, bad weather, and relaxing got in the way of more progress this weekend but I did fix my dome light by replacing it. Didnt know I had one extra. Also installed new valve cover gaskets as the old ones were leaking. Used Fel-Pro rubber and got rid of the big hold downs. Cleaned the valve covers and used some 1/4''-20 bolts....also pulled out my horn buttons. I'm going with the fancy one as it fits the steering wheel better. The wheel I installed is 1/2'' in diameter larger than the previous wheel. Here are some pics.....

Just for fun I painted my fender emblems; hoefully they match the tastefully dilapidated look of the truck. Cleaning up some wiring and doing my dizzy swap, too.

[protrash64]

OK, finished my dizzy swap. I still need to re-do some wiring and fire it up. It fit no problem; dont know why others have issues. I also have an Accel coil on top which is huge and it clears the firewall by 1/4''.

Pulled out my plug wires that came on the 454 in the 'burb.....the pics speak for themselves.

Didn't get it fired. Had no spark and solved that problem. Now it's just a timing issue and I ran out of steam. I need to pull the cap and get everything lined up and I believe it will fire up with no problem.

Must be the one gear off thing. That kicked my butt for hours. It's a new day.
