Hahaha its okay I don't want to really think about my list right now haha I'm sure it'll look just like that if not worse.

[Rusbuilt]

Looks like a lot to do! I was hoping to see those fenders on by now!! lol

[JRANGER]

I welded the holes in them but I want to strip them down and put primer on them before I install them. Plus I will paint the insides too.....

Didn't have much time to work on it this weekend...FML.... Plus i didnt have you around with those handy Needle Nose Vice Grip pliers to get another bolt out LOL!!!!

[thelonerife]

I thought you said you needed fenders and saw these

[JRANGER]

Well dang but I actually just got a solid pair from Pull a part...but thats a hell of a deal

[thelonerife]

Oh ok. lmk if you want them and I'll pick them up for ya.

[JRANGER]

Appreciate it man! Im good though

Thanks!

[JRANGER]

So I have went through a bunch of extra clusters sitting around and I had an idea....Why do I have to have green blinkers?!!!!! So I had to change it, I went and took the extra "High Beam" Plastic and cut them into blinker plastics so now my blinkers are blue

[77ChevySharkBite]

Nice!!! Looks clean man, I think I want some red ones!! I have to wait though I just bought my mufflers hopefully have an exhaust done this weekend

[JRANGER]

yeah i just did this with stuff laying around so it was easy

[JRANGER]

Woohooo!!! Been having some electrical problems with my headlights, turn signal, and so on for a while and i finally think i figured it out....Found a lose ground on the passenger side......Yup that will do it...lol Now i just need to fix the hazards

[77ChevySharkBite]

Woohoo!!! Means it's a good thanksgiving for you!!! I can't wait for my Black Friday gift haha screw that shopping I have work to do lol
Posted via Mobile Device

[JRANGER]

Haha yup thats my plan too!! I actually did some tunning of the carb now that I have a vacuum gauge...Just wish I had a tach so i could know where its idling...Damn idle screw is basically backed all the way out...This learning stuff is rough lol

[77ChevySharkBite]

Lol I feel you bro trust me, I'm just hoping I'm just a semi guru after its all done and can do this stuff while looking at it like it's back of my hand, does all your gauges work?
Posted via Mobile Device

[JRANGER]

Yeah, All my gauges do work...The only one thats questionable is the fuel gauge because its a bit jumpy.....So im left wondering sometimes...

Just no tach in the truck

[77ChevySharkBite]

Mine does it too whenever my gas starts getting low kind of mind boggling actually but I still have my readings so I'm not too concerned lol be careful with putting a tach because that was a little bit of my issue with mine, my cousin that's a mechanic suggested me to not use it at all, just a little bit to think about I'm tempted to plug it back up but I don't want to get back to square one with my motor not running again
Posted via Mobile Device

[JRANGER]

O im not going to put a tach in i just need to get a tach to test from the engine bay...lol

[77ChevySharkBite]

Lol oh okay yeah I'm going to want to get mine looked at too sound like it was fine I don't know enough about carbs to start trying to even tweak with it lol
Posted via Mobile Device

[JRANGER]

HAHA! I dont know anything about them but I read about adjusting them so thats what i did...Just not sure where its idling

[77ChevySharkBite]

Oo I see, yeah it seems like it's fine but yet again I really can't say yes or no just yet because I just got it running again, and it has open headers right now so don't want to run it too much and throw a valve or cylinder

[JRANGER]

i hear that

[THE "10" SILVERADO]

Adjustments arent to hard but as long as the engine doesnt die you shouldnt worry abut your idle. Heck ive heard the saying "the cheapest lope is just turning the idle down". Sharkbite, you shouldnt have a problem running open headers...id only worry if there wasnt any exhaust hooked up to move the temps away from the engine bay
