Got pictures from my powdercoater! Looks terrific!

I bought my hinges from Matt out of PA! He does such a good job! I send all my parts to him his chrome powder coating is the best flawless!

[Orangetonicclicc]

Parts are on the way! I will be able to bleed my brakes and install my steering column!

Thanks

I completed running my external wire. Had a few questions about connecting them. I have the original wire connection harness but don't know if I should just cut that connection and solder them or use a butt connection. Once I'm happy with it and confident I will put wire jackets over everything and make it clean and neat.

[Orangetonicclicc]

Front external location is routed and ready to be covered, cut, and connected. Verifying my connections and confirming the wires that won't be needed. I don't intend to cut them completely. I will cut put covers on the ends and leave them in case I decide to do something different and may need them. Like an electric fuel pump...

I've learned in my career that you don't be hasty cutting wires til you confirm your connection. Because of the Dakota Digital dash, it makes this factory connection on the Painless Wiring harness that would have went to the factory dash bezel obsolete and some of these wires will be connected to the Dakota module. But I wanted to be sure and ask one of the forum members before I make these cuts.

PM sent with answers to your questions .

Built some ground straps for my truck. Grind down the frame for good connection. This one goes to the frame to the bed.

[Orangetonicclicc]

Made a ground strap from the back of the passenger heads on the engine to the frame. I still need to add one to the frame to the cab. I may also make some smaller ones going to the valve covers as well and one to the core support to give my headlights a good ground. I researched this and you can never have enough grounds!

[Orangetonicclicc]

Got my powdercoat parts back today! I can finally see if these headers are going to match to these pre-bent brake lines...

[Orangetonicclicc]

Fits like a glove!

[Orangetonicclicc]

Now back to wiring

Waiting on my Go Keyless RIFD Pushbutton start/alarm. Installed my floor dim switch. Pretty simple but I had to make a hole in the carpet. I used my solder tool. Painless kit comes with a dim switch, head light switch, windshield wiper and the ignition and a few more like the dome light switch connects. Makes things easier. I've decided to purchase Dakota Digital's Electric fan controller! Easier wiring and it gives me the ability to set my fans anyway I want! (I have no reason why this thing is side ways!)

Just spent the better part of my work afternoon reading you thread. Awesome build and can't wait to see it on the road. Love the color.

Thanks Ryan! And you can be sure, I'm following Laymond! Love the name!

[Orangetonicclicc]

Decided to make disconnects for my relocated fuel tank. Did some grounding and continuity checks too,all through out the truck. The inner cab is grounded next the core support.

[Orangetonicclicc]

My ManCave! Once I'm not spending money on this truck maybe a pool table and big screen TV???

[slowcpe]

A big screen is a must! Couldn't live without mine.

[Orangetonicclicc]

Took these pictures to show age a member how far my engine set behind my radiators. I'm glad the headers forced me to set the engine back more you can see my serp set better!

[Orangetonicclicc]

Hey guys I'm putting electric remote locks in my doors. What can I do to make the wires look neat and custom from the door to the cab? I gotta drill 2 holes one in my door and in my cab in the door jam area on fresh paint which suxs! But I'm sure that make a grommet and loom to clean it up neat?

[Orangetonicclicc]

Thanks to Chris (BOWTIE468), I made me a 4 connect Weatherpack Connect for my tailight harness! I used my extra length of wire and made a female and male end. Now I can cut the old one and slide braided loom over the wires, splice it with solder cover it with heat shink and button it up neatly!

[Orangetonicclicc]

Still collecting electrical components and hardware for this wire installation Dakota Digital Electric Fan controller and Stainless braided door jam wire loom for my electric locks for my alarm.

[Orangetonicclicc]

Final wire installation is underway! Still waiting on my push button start! Trying to figure out my back up light connection as well! And where to install my relays for my electric fans! High Temp wire loom is ran. Now final connections for the headlights can be done!

[Orangetonicclicc]

Preparing for column install. Need to get a limit switch. Finally starting to click. Waiting on parts! I love the fact that you can get a great deal in my parts from vendors, but I hate the wait.

Everything looks great. Good luck getting everything wired up.
