Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
made a little more progress today
I got the rear tail lights installed. Forgot to get pictures of those, but new lenses sure make them look nice. Then I got the headlights installed. It wasn't as easy as I expected. The hole for the headlight bucket to set into wasn't right (used a GMC grill) so I had to cut a little on that, then I had to cut a notch out for the turn signal wiring. I went and got some stainless screws to screw in the trim rings. Finally I wired up the ground wires. And they work! I also installed the front bumper and cigarette lighter. The blinkers aren't working, however the emergency flashers are. Not sure why. When I turn on the turn signal I can hear something on the fuse panel, but no blinking. I don't have the rear taillights hooked up and I know there is a "problem" with LED lights and flashers. I have one LED flasher that came with the head lights. I'm hoping when I get the tailights hooked up it will take care of it's self. We'll see. |

Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
Really great progress! I like the idea of the custom ID tag so any shop can figure out what you have when you are out on the road (or in case you forget what part you used where, hahaha.)

Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
A little more progress tonight. I got the tail lights all hooked up and working, got the brake switch and the torque converter lockup switch (an the same switch) wired up. That's about it for tonight.

Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
I figured out the blinkers. I missed a wire to the ignition switch that powered the turn signals, radio, and A/C....
So now I believe I am legal to drive!!!! Unfortunately it is going to turn rainy this week and my windshield is still not sealed correctly. I have to work a bunch this week any ways (OT will help pay for some more stuff maybe ) Hopefully I'll get the windshshield fully installed the next week. In the mean time I got my second skin "damplifier" to install, and the carpet is on it's way. So I'll get that in as well as the rest of my seats. |

Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
Well it hasn't been raining this week like they called for, and I ended up getting off at regular time......so I drove the truck on the road!!!!!!!!!!!
Overally it drove great. It rattled like no other with the one piece windows just sitting in place with rags to keep the from rattleing too much (I lost the upper seals at some point). And the trans cover wasn't bolted in, and just bare metal interior. On the road I didn't get on it real hard, but when I did give it a little gas, it seamed pretty quick. The steering is very light (if I remember right the gear box is off the 3/4 ton parts truck). I had a bunch of tools in the cab, so I didn't get on the brakes real hard, but they're difinatly working. I logged the whole test drive with my laptop, and all of the numbers looked good. No knock retard and the fuel trims looked nice. A couple of things to do. The speedometer is WAY off. It's an programable electric one, so I need to program it. Also, I need to change the gear ratio and tire size in the tune. At really low speeds the transmission isn't shifting like it should cause the computer is a little confused....no biggy though. Now the bad news. After I got home I started working on some stuff and noticed a liquid on the ground. Turns out its antifreeze, so it looks like the water pump probably needs replaced. I didn't investigate real close, but that's what I'm assuming it is (I didn't have any cooling issues on my drive). After the test drive I got a little work done on the truck. I removed the ECM mounting plate and trimmed it so my foot doesn't catch on it. Then I bolted in the transmission hump, installed the pass. side mirror, re-mounted the fuse block and started installing the sound deadener. |

Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread
Sounds like some awesome progress, must be pretty rewarding to see the fruits of all that labor coming together.
