Ok guys we got a lot done today....Installed a new Aluminum Holley Intake Manifold, Tuned the carb, and got the engine in time. She runs like a champ! We also took the Bed off the truck so I can work on the cab corners and frame

Big thanks to everyone who came out to help especially Rus (Rusbuilt), Matt (cubber), and Thomas (slash36g)

So since I have 5 millions partial broken gauge clusters ive been destroying them to find the best way to fit my gauge tach in the gauge pod....Check it out...

I think im about ready to cut the real cluster

[JRANGER]

Well not going to get much done today since I have to do some remote work but starting tomorrow im going to go crazy. Im off for the week and did get a nice start to today by shopping for stuff for the to do list...

I bought some rust-oleum for the frame, cut off wheels for the angle grinder, brushes, and some glasspacks

So Agenda for the week:

1: Cut out and weld in new cab corners
2: Remove Rust from Frame and Coat with Rust-Oleum
3. Install Thrush Glass Packs
4. Paint back of cab and front of bed
5. Install New Stereo
6. Install Tach

[77ChevySharkBite]

Sweet!!! sounds pretty awesome if you ask me, sounds like a productive week ahead, I don't know yet I might go a little wild today and put some new gauges in since I'm going to be partly taking my truck apart it shouldn't be too hard but we shall see.

As I said before take before and after videos of the exhaust always nice to here how much louder it gets, and also take pictures it's definitely a must.

Keep us posted on your progress this week, Jeff!

Not a whole lot to report today but I did modify the dash cluster and install the tach in it. Then I mounted the new cd player in the metal bracket... Now the tach just needs to be wired in!!
