Yes, the whole truck will be re-wired. Leaning toward the "Classic Update" American Autowire kit over the Painless Performance one. I haven't seen really bad reviews for either one, just seems like more dudes like the Amercian kit over the painless.

8/19-8/25 Progress update...You can blow these trucks apart way faster than they go back together

• I finished getting the fuel/regulator lines installed and clamped down
• Brake line connections are all connected and tightened down
• Took apart the booster/MC and painted it black and installed back on the firewall along with the brake pedal assembly under the dash. I had rebuilt that months ago and replaced the plastic bushing that was toasted. I still need to connect the lines to the new proportioning valve
• Refurbished the side cab vents with some new foam and riveted them back together and installed back in the cab.
• Bolted the battery tray to the core support
• Modified the rear bottom shock bracket from single shear to double shear bolt support
• Installed upper support brackets on the front shocks.
• Installed shocks front and rear
• Tossed on the carb and air cleaner

I want to get the 454 hot wired and started/running before I get a wiring harness and wire the whole truck. I've been shooting to meet a self-imposed goal by Labor Day and I think I'll miss it by a few weekends.

• Transmission oil lines/cooler
• Power Steering lines
• Radiator hoses
• Driveshaft
• Fuel line from regulator to carb

I did a terrible job of taking pictures this weekend, I'll update the tread with some pics in the coming days. Here's a couple of the vents and rear shock mod.

I love seeing your progress man! It gives me motivation to keep moving forward with mine. It has been so miserably hot though, that I have slacked a bit. Looking great man!!
