Set the cab this morning. Wanted to make sure I did not need the BFH. I will have to move my wire looms a bit but happy with the valve cover clearance..

x3 That is and is going to be a sharp truck!

And to add to thread, i checked and adjusted my timing a bit, adjusting idle mixture screws to improve vacuum, and blew a brake line in the driveway coming back from taking the trash off.

Did a little bed floor repair. When I started this, several days ago, I thought, this won't take long. Boy was I wrong. The old floor put up a good fight coming out.

**Elliot949** · 08-10-2014, 07:56 PM

I ordered the patch panel from LMC, but then had to cut it up to fit in the corner properly (sorta). FYI, the panels are not a real good match. The profiles are a little different.

VWNate1 · 08-11-2014, 08:44 AM

Doesn't Mar - K make these ? .

They're the best there is and American made too .

muckyp · 08-11-2014, 11:08 AM

I sure wish I had known that. The LMC ones are not good quality.

Gonepostal · 08-11-2014, 09:45 PM

Installed 01 Cadillac Deville power seats lots of fun

knomadd · 08-11-2014, 10:16 PM

Finished installing the bow tie in my new billet grille.

VWNate1 · 08-12-2014, 06:05 PM

I'm loving that blue bow tie ! .

The yellow ones are just WRONG .

Ridgeclimber · 08-12-2014, 11:42 PM

I picked up my seat and door panels today. Hopefully install them this weekend.

74baggedbug · 08-13-2014, 08:39 AM

Got this in the mail yesterday, hope to install it later this week

colgad · 08-13-2014, 08:47 AM

Got my drive shaft installed.
Now the C50 is back on the road, super singles and disk brakes in the back. Think the sway bar is big enough?
Long bed installation is next after a little rear end cleanup. Then tackle finding a front axle with disk also!

Regrettably I do not, it's such a commitment. And I am not to good at those.

I have gotten a few things from LMC truck, and I hate to say that all of the parts that I have gotten were not the best quality, but they did get the job done, like my heater control levers that always seem to be broken. And the headlight relay upgrade? What a joke! If I had realized that it was going to be cheaply made I would have made my own, like I had done on an old Jeep I had.
