Tonight I worked on my DBW pedal and was able to mount the 71-72 pad on the 03 Silverado assembly. Still need to make a bracket for it in the cab.

Pulled the bench out. The truck came with pretty nice looking re-upholstered tan interior but the seat is worn through on the driver's side and the PO had it covered up with some cheap Chinese seat cover that I didn't like at all.

I bought a black "Dorchester" cover from Seat Covers Unlimited - supposedly really durable for heavy duty use and Made in USA! It fits nicely and looks good.

While I had the seat out I cleaned out the cab with a shop vac and fixed the 3 pt. seat belts - whoever installed them had them flipped over the wrong way so in order to fasten them you'd have to twist them over and they'd be all bunched up and ride up on your belly - super annoying and uncomfortable! I fixed that problem by pulling off the retractable units where they anchor to the floor by the door jamb so I could flip over the belts and bolt 'em back down the right way.

Taking the bench out and putting it back in was pretty easy. I used some cardboard under the driver's side legs so I could slide it out and back into the cab and had a coleman cooler outside the passenger side to rest it on while I maneuvered it out and back in(first time I've used a cooler for something other than beer ).

The hardest thing about it was lining up the holes when I reinstalled the bench. Even with one front bolt in on each side, the back legs didn't want to line up.

Blocked my fender and painted the cowl panel. Fixed a ignition switch wire that I must of knock loose at some point and caused my battery not to charge. Had to jump start it to get home. Hate that when things go wrong after you done fixed it. Glad I knew where to look.

My truck build has come a long way in the last few months, yesterday i put my 12 to 10 bolt fuel pump adapter in. I have a rear mounted boyd welding fuel tank with a single 340 pump. I ditched the single 340 pump and went with a aeromotive phantom dual 340 pumps. I plumbed the pumps from 2 -6 lines into one -8 hose with a backflow preventer.

Got to keep them tires maintained by regularly heating them up. Nice!

Well over a few days I lowered it, put new shocks, ball joints, tie rods, brakes, and headers on it. Did 2.5 drop spindles up front and 4 inch lowering springs in the back. Pretty happy with it but may do an inch lower up front with smaller springs if it doesn't settle any more. Can't complain though, first time working on it all year because I've been slammed at work and it went great. I'm on here all the time while traveling to tracks and love watching yalls projects, makes the time go by quicker! In the winter she'll get a new torque converter, wiring harness, lights, and straight pipes.

Saturday, took my truck to the storage yard and picked up my new trailer. First time it's been attached. Took the trailer home and installed "poles" in two cabinets for clothes on hangers. Wife put in the dog beds, etc.

Sunday, put in a new heater/AC blower switch. Got it from LMC. Also ordered 3-point seat belts and a new lap belt for the center passenger. I'll put those in, a little after lunch. 4 days to deliver, and the parts are correct.

Replaced the front fender. The old one was pretty beat up, had about 4 snapped off bolts in it, and was pretty much held on by sheetmetal screws that one of the previous owners threw in there.

Getting firewall ready for paint.

Called the DMV to ask where my title is after waiting 10.5 weeks. I hear the lady on the other end of the line typing on her computer. "Um.. It looks like it was done awhile back, but for some reason never got sent out in an envelope. Sorry, I'll do that for you now..."

Grrr.....

[74baggedbug]

Got rid of the old gauge

Hey, sorry about that, I was looking for certain things, lights gauges, etc... found an eBay listing that had lights from this company, I searched the company up and went to their web site. That is a link to their site. Lots of cool stuff for lots of different applications - dash lights, warning lights, etc... The link is clean, at least it was when I made it!

Looks great .

" You should have to pull the converter out towards the flex plate to eliminate the gap. "

THIS !~ if you cannot easily spin the Torque Converted by one finger when the engine is mated to the bell housing , the T.C. likely isn't properly settled .

[Custom/20]

Got a valance from pick n pull and some road lights from AutoZone and installed them.
