Re: 4x4 48'

After a small hiatus I got back to work on making a bracket for my dash speaker.
I also finished installing the door latches. Next is the door locks.

Re: 4x4 48'

Great project! I would love to put a visor on my 51 GMC but I'm 6'2" and I can't see stoplights as it is. I'm tuned into this channel!

With everything fitting on the cab I did a little painting and sprayed some rubber coating on the floor

Re: 4x4 48'

Got the front and back glass in. I had to make an adjustment to the exhaust. Found out that the tailpipe was pointing straight into the rear fender. Nice to have a neighbor who has a pipe bender.

Re: 4x4 48'

Got my engine harness back and got it installed but need to tie it into the trunck harness. I'm planning on using the harness out of the s10 since I'll use everything but the fluid pump. I started diagramming the wires and hopefully I won't get confused. I got my air intake put on but need to shorten it to fit in the tight space. I got some panels for the back of the cab to get covered with the same clothe from my seat.
