Hello;

Well got the truck wired in,lites turn signals brakes just no charge system.
When I do hook up the Alt to charge it works but not able to shut if off till I disconnect the charge wire. ? ? ?
Useing a S10 wireing diagram. ??
Will reck the wireing again today,had to stop last evening as was getting upset with it.

I did get the cooling n ps fluid in n drove it around the block a couple of times.
The heater core did not leak so that was good, no ps leaks either, the radiator took like 3gal to fill up the system( bigger radiator then I thought).

Hello All;

Have just been taking a break n enjoying the truck.
Have a fuel problem to work out.
getting dirt in the carb so run it down to pull fuel tank.
While tank is down n out will replace the fuel sending unit out of the 78 chevy so then the gauge n sending unit are the same volt/amps?
Have had a lot of fun in the truck n really enjoying it.

[Advanced Design]

Good for you Tim! Always a fun time enjoying what you have built.

I did run into a lil problem;
The fuel tank looks like it has some dirt in it;
There is not a problem as I have to pull the tank to replace the sending unit anyway.
That is what I have planned for today.
Got the tank out from under the 78 just a few moments ago.
NOW it is raining;
Willl work in the shop on the truck tank in abit.
Just hope that the sending unit is not to rusted up.

Hello Everyone;

Worked on the gas tank today.
got the old sending unit out of the 78 chevy. (pic)
For not having had gas in that for over 10yr the sending unit was really in good shape (pic)
Removed the 4x4 tank out of the truck n replaced the sending unit from the 78 into the 4x4 tank.
Had to cut off the end of the pick up tube to fit the 4x4 tank, just use a NEW elect fuel pump filter on the end of the pick up tube. (no pic)
Checked to make sure that the fuel was picking up fuel n it is n running.
Got the NEW tags on the rear (pic)
Added a NEW tag to the front all so (#3) (pic)

It have been raining here off n on all afternoon (love it)
