Re: BP68 Official Build Thread
Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Been waiting on the bodyman, so no progess yet. However, as I mentioned earlier, I hope to have her home for some forward progress soon.

Re: BP68 Official Build Thread
FINALLY SOME PROGRESS
Here a few pics of recent progess, a little body work, more wiring run, brake booster/m/c mounted. Plan is to have the steering, wiring, brakes, and under hood paint work done in the next 3 weeks. Then some body work on the bed, and final prep for paint. Interior will be last. It has been a long time comming, but each step forward makes it all worthwhile.

Re: BP68 Official Build Thread
Latest update pics.
Most of wiring is done, cooling fans in, radiator in, fuel lines hooked up and pressure regulator installed. Should be starting up soon, after front clip and cab are painted within the next week or 2, then off to the muffler shop. I have the Magnaflow stainless kit, but I need the muffler shop to bend up a couple sections of stainless to hook the headers to the kit. I just couldn't make the sections from the kit turn the way I needed without cutting them up.

Re: BP68 Official Build Thread
It is a GM color called Arrival Blue. I will have to look up the paint code for you. GM started using it around 03. I got the code of a SS sliverado.

Re: BP68 Official Build Thread
She lives again!!!!!!!!!!!
Got her started up again today. Sounds mean with open headers, and has a nice lope. Trans fluid topped off, brakes bled, just need accelerator pedal and cable to drive down the street. And of course all the other fine details of assembly. I will try to post a video soon.

Re: BP68 Official Build Thread
She officially has the accelerator hooked up. Hopefully I will take a short drive around the block in the next couple weeks. Just found what looks like a rear freeze plug leaking. Gonna try to get that fixed this weekend. Then off to the muffler shop, then home for some wiring and assembly while the bed gets bodywork and paint.

Re: BP68 Official Build Thread
She finally came back home for a little stay this past weekend. May have to do a little house project this comming weekend, then time to start doing some wiring/dash/gauge/door assembly. I will try to get a few pics soon.
