Looks great Joe! Looks like you are moving right along instead of taking the 2 year plan like I did..lol...

And how did it go to Destiny from Big Sexy?

thanks for stopping in

technically I'm not from here....I just live here now, so i guess that makes me an Okie

your 2 year plan turned out super nice!!

this won't even be close

I call it "Destiny" because I have wanted a square crew forever...it is my destiny

the wife came up with big sexy.......and I couldn't argue

We'll agree to disagree. No just kidding I don't have a problem with Texas, just the University of Texas.

[joe231]

Sorry to disappoint ya Scott.


I hope to spend some time on it this weekend. The weather is supposed to be decent.
Working out of town while we were having that great weather sucked. If I feel froggy tonight I might get something done

John,
don't feed the trolls, they will never go away
they will just hang around waiting for more, then before you know it they are controlling the bridge and collecting a toll

[DaddyMack]

Thanks Joe!!

And my friends say they are from Northern Texas..lol

[ruffrida2005]

the only thing i fixed last night was the dash. The PO hacked out the dash and riveted in a piece from an older truck to put the wipers on the dash.

it was sitting at a custom metal place, so I guess he made the grill himself.

[menace121978]

you can have it buddy... just let me box it up and you pay shipping. i'll get a picture of it as soon as i get home today so you can say yea or nay. i never used it. the guy i got it from went w/ a custom setup on a rock crawler. he said it works.

Sweet!
Thanks man!

[joe231]

Worked on the firewall a bit tonight....

Cut out the spare firewall.



Cut out the crew firewall.



Test fit.



View from the inside.



Got a couple little spots to fill in by the heater core holes.
That's as far as I got tonight, I still need to do some clean up before I weld it up. I chose to lap weld it, I figured a butt weld would be a pain in the butt
Hopefully I'll get it welded tomorrow and then I will be able to start putting the truck back together.....

[highperf4x4]

Looks good to me. Why do you suppose they hacked it in the first place?

[scotts62]

Sweet! So after you fix the fire wall you can start running the new harness?

[joe231]

thanks,
it was a non A/C cab that they added A/C to. It would have been fine as it was, and no one would have seen it....but I would have known and it would have bugged me.

yep, hopefully I'll have the new harness in today. I need to go pick up an intake gasket and water pump gaskets so I can get the TBI and serp set up on.
