Talking Round 2, with a 62

Its great to be back on here with a Truck, once again in my garage.
Unfortunately with my move last go around, I had to part ways with my 66. But she found a good home, became part of another truck and is back on the road.
Now after the freakin Pandemic, changes jobs and all the fun stuff. I waited for the right one to come along before deciding to pull the trigger.

Ended up with a 62. LWB, SBW. LS installed, all new brake and fuel lines. 72 front and rear end, 5 lug done, Gas tank moved. Bunch to list, but lets 90% of the hard work done.
Now its up to me to finish, already a couple days into it. Currently hooking up Terminator XMax, and should be ready to fire up soon (barring getting sidetracked).

Happy as a Deer with a Bulletproof vest. Anyway, missed all you guys, reading all the posts and hunting for that next part. Now its time to get back to work!!!!!!

That looks great! What does LWB, SBW mean? I'm a bit new to the 60-66 area.

Re: Round 2, with a 62

OK that clears things up. I wonder which side is the long wheel base, and which side is the short wheel base. To me it looks like the passenger side is the long wheel base.

Re: Round 2, with a 62

Great to be back, thanks everyone. Sorry about the abbreviations,
Anyhow, the gentleman I bought this from was in the middle of changing over to the Holley TerminatorX Max system, so Ive been chasing wires all over. Some connected, some not etc.

Anyone reading this that may have done this conversion, please let me know if you could answer a few questions for me, would REALLY appreciate it.

Chompin at the bit to get this thing fired up
