Nice build. Any progress?

Eagletucky · 05-07-2017, 05:15 PM

The motor is in. Everthing is hooked up. I thought it might be prudent to have my tuning guy take one last look at my tune before lighting this off. The motor failed just after a tuning session so i want to be 100% sure the failure wasnt tune related. I would hate to go through all of this and have the same thing happen again.

Hopefully, ill be up and running by mid week!

Im happy to report that my truck is running and driving as it should. No CEL's! I may look into new fuel injectors, but that should about do it. Happy driving ahead!

Eagletucky · 05-21-2017, 09:21 PM

Thanks guys!!!! Im still breaking in the motor, so no highway for the first 500 miles. I got 100 in today, went to a small show for the boys and girls club.

Ricky Rodder · 05-21-2017, 09:24 PM

I love this build

dug224 · 05-22-2017, 08:23 AM

What did you end up doing to transition the TB SS steering to the vintage column and steering wheel? Couldn't find any photos. I've really enjoyed this build and the pace you maintained to finish!!

i Bought the shortest Ididit column available, modified the trailblazer firewall mount to accept the new column, moved the C10 column location on the dash so it lines up with the seat and original TBSS column, and made a column drop to hold it at the dash. I can post up a photo or two if it would help...

Ricky Rodder · 05-22-2017, 09:57 AM

Photos are good

**PGSigns** · 05-23-2017, 07:12 AM

Great to see it out! Really enjoyed this build and all the detail you showed on the metal work.

Photos would be great! Mostly interested in how you transitioned to the TB SS rack. I was hoping you were going to tell my you found or made a steering wheel to fit the TB SS spline in he cab!!! I'm currently using the TB steering column and associated plastic covers, tilt mechanism and ignition switch and intend to either buy or build an old (looking) steering wheel to fit the late model spline. Thanks for taking the time. dug

Nice to see it back on the road!!

Eagletucky · 05-23-2017, 09:21 PM

Here are two pics. Theyre not the best, but should tell you what you wanted to know.

dug224 · 05-24-2017, 07:12 AM

I see exactly what you did! Excellent solution. Thanks again for posting. dug

Eagletucky · 05-29-2017, 10:32 PM

Made it to two different shows this holiday weekend. I recieved lots of positive comments, and a few completely confused looks. All good!

Ricky Rodder · 05-29-2017, 10:35 PM
