Finished off the transition are from the rear tail pan to the truck quarters. It will be covered by the bumper, but I didn't want it to look like an after thought. I also got the body ready to come off the chassis (this weekend hopefully!).

Oh, it's THAT setup. Yeah. I'm still waiting for someone to develop a kit that pulls fresh air from outside the truck - something innovative, like ... that will put the blower in the kickpanel vent and pull from outside, allowing people to shave their firewall, install a bulkhead, and still get fresh air to cool down.

[Hart_Rod]

With the Gen 4, you could always pop open your vents in the kick panel for some fresh air, .

Looks superb, you do great work! How many hours you reckon you have in that? 35?

[Frizzle Fry]

Looks Awesome!

Google for Early Classic Enterprises.

Well I have been gone awhile but this thing is looking good. I really like the tail lights, stock burb lights never sat well with me.

I totally could be. IFC is doing free movies in the park ~6-7 blocks from my house, so I had plans to do that w/friends, but it's neither definite nor required.

If you're able to pop into town, feel free to stop by. As a perk, I have one of those SA-1000 harnesses that I'm looking to offload, or if you just wanted to check it out ... yep!

Sorry we couldn't make it work out Jason, maybe next time.

No worries! Either way, if you're interested in that SA-1000 wiring setup, let me know. I've opted not to use mine. If I weren't taking the time to completely rewire my truck inside and out, I'd totally use it, but ... meh.

Do you have a link to it?

[shifty]

Look at the last two pictures in this post: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...4&postcount=93

Here is Jared's site with the prices, etc.: http://www.currentperformance.com/Ac...iring_acc.html

It's the top kit - $94. Will sell shipped for $10 less if it will help you out?

I'll dock 10% off his price and ship it to your door for free, if this is a perk.

Shifty, I'm not sure what I'm going to do right now. I'm leaving for NM on the 3rd, so the car stuff is going to be on hold for a while, .

[shifty]

At least you have na excuse. I am at home right now but have so many chores that I can't touch teh truck. I have the agony of walking by it every single day though.I did have time to get the gas cap mod done and FAQ thread done, and I installed one of the push-on door seals that GMC Pauls sells (but now I can't close the door without seriously slamming it so hard the glass could break!), got firewall blockoff plates done and all wiring stripped out.

I am STILL waiting (3 months later?) for Jegs to send my speedo and tach gauges.

Which ones are you getting? Part #?

[Hart_Rod]

Good news! Got the body off the frame, .

[shifty]

Part numbers., if anyone is interested (NOTE: some of these gauges are electric because I'm installing an LS1!!)

Autometer Ultra Light II 5" gauges:

autometer 4989 - speedo
autometer 4998 - tach

Autometer Ultra Light II 3-1/8" gauges:

autometer 4992 - voltage
autometer 4953 - oil pressure
autometer 4937 - water temp 100-250
autometer 4913 - fuel level

[Hart_Rod]

Bad news, . After pulling the body off the frame and I found out that it's been tweaked pretty bad. I could try to get it fixed, but since the body is already off, I might as well replace it. Anyone got a good 2WD Suburban frame?

I do not have the skills or the patience of Frizzle Fry, . Plus, I want to drive it again before the end of the decade.

I'm just going to find another frame and swap everything over.
