Wow Drew, that's awesome! I was watching the vid and thought to my self, oh no he didn't. Yes you did, great job on that task and covering it up for 2 years.

Quadrasteer? Why would you hide such a beautiful thing? I love it!

mcbassin · 05-29-2012, 09:59 PM

Very nice engineering work. Such functional old truck. Nice planning all the way around.

I think I would explode if I kept a secret like that. Especially the midnight pics, I would miss my editing and slip.

drewskiren · 05-30-2012, 12:09 PM

Here is my custom plenum piece for connecting my new air unit to my old AC vents. The bottom is open to the new unit. I ended up eliminating the middle vent double sided hose connector and just attached my plenum box directly to it. The outer vents connect by old hoses into each side of my new plenum. Since the plenum is metal it would want to sweat/condensate and drip onto the carpet so I insulated it here with stick on foam insulation.

Going back thru the pages, on 71/72 you have the cab mating with the frame. There's a big spaghetti mess sitting on top of the rear axle housing.

You got me. The thing is though, none of you guys know what or how much wiring is on a 2002 as it heads towards the rear. I figured I was safe with those pictures.

It was right there under your noses!!!

VA72C10 · 05-31-2012, 09:52 PM

Huge upgrade on the wheel!

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-31-2012, 10:00 PM

Your hidden cluster is too nice to hide.

That steering wheel looks awesome in there by the way!

**lolife99** · 05-31-2012, 10:04 PM

Cool new wheel!
Where did you get the steering wheel "hub" for that wheel?

I have an original 64-66 corvette wheel, that I need one for.
They are different than the other "3-spoke" steering wheel hubs.

The whole thing was a kit from The Car Shop.

1985-GMC · 05-31-2012, 10:29 PM

Looks good! Do you have a wood grain inlay for the gauge cluster?

drewskiren · 05-31-2012, 11:28 PM

Yes, along with a new surround. I just pulled apart the cluster tonight to refurbish everything.

wwhijr · 06-02-2012, 12:38 PM

Ok I think I missed it, but why did you keep the stock gauges? Do the ones ont eh dash not work?

I know U know but that steering wheel is the car's meow

mcbassin · 06-02-2012, 08:52 PM

Dig the new steering wheel!

drewskiren · 06-02-2012, 11:46 PM

We're back at the lake again this weekend, so no real internet. I do have the dash finished and installed, but I'm not able to post a pic. I know, I know - pics or it didn't happen. I'll hit y'all up Sunday.

Not yet, and I've lost them. There's quite a few items like that that I still need to finish, but nothing that really matters for the Power Tour.
