My 1st build 70 CST Project (insert cool name here)

[ewoody625]

It's slowly coming along. I'm waiting for a replacement bed panel(which should be here today)to finish up the bed. I started painting the frame. I think it came out great for an amature. There are some runs here and there but its the frame who looks at that??? lol. the next step is to finish the body work on the bed and get it primed and get my new blazer tank mounted. Here's some pics of the frame.

Wow so I knew it had been a long time since i've posted an update, but I did not know it has been over a year since my last post. The depressing part is I have made very little progress. I am still working on that same bed panel. It's half way done. The good news is the bed is primered. I have a lot going on in the coming weeks but I hope to have the bed done and then get started on replacing the cab corner. I will get some updated pics and post them this week.

Hey everyone, its been a long time but I'm back. Life got in the way of my build plus I kind of lost steam/interest. I do have some updated pictures. I ended up replacing the driver cab corner that was full of bondo. I also welded up a hole in the firewall, I'm guessing was made from that caddy motor that was in the truck. Anyway, I'll get to the pictures.

I'm gald to see you back working on your truck, just sitting around checking up on others truck members builds.See you have made some progress & it's looking good,keep on truckin''

[ewoody625]

Thanks for checkin in, yeah I've made a little progress, still a long way to go. I'm not real sure where to go from here. My dads been helping me and showing me what to do. We have different schedules now and it's hard to get together, one reason I haven't done much to it.

Give us an update?

[ewoody625]

It has been a long since I've been on here... As far as an update on the truck, well I just dropped a 5.3/4l60e combo in it. Waiting to hear it run, hopefully before the end of the year. I have relocated the tank to the rear under the bed. I will be doing a side marker fuel door. Literally just ordered the parts. Let's see what else... The plan is to get it to paint before spring but I'm not sure I'm still on schedule for that deadline. That's about it I think. Sorry no pictures on my tablet, but I have some on my phone, I will try to remember to post some later. Thanks for checking in.

Just looked through the whole thread. I had not seen it before. I would have thought at the pace you started that it would have been done by now. HAHA This from a guy that has not finished his or even touched it in 3 years. I'm in. Maybe you will inspire me.

Haha it's still not done. Going on 12 years or something like that.

Oh it's not a lack of inspiration, it's a lack of knowledge. I was hoping to have it running and driving for my wedding next month but it's not gonna happen. I ls swapped it and it's just been set back after setback. I did the s10 speedo swap, my gauges don't work. Can't seem to wrap up all the wiring and electrical. It starts but doesn't really want to run. Nothing has been easy with this build. 1 step forward 10 steps back the whole way.

Oh. I read about your speedo. I am also following that thread. I am good at wiring but have never done that. I really want to do the swap and am about ready. I have a standard tranny going in mine. I am going to redo the harness myself for better knowledge of whats going on. Keep at it. It will all work out. I am leaning toward using my Trans Am speedo. Any way. Now I am following this thread!

Well if you couldn't tell I don't keep this updated lol.

Just checking up on your build and i know it takes time.Keep pictures & progress coming.Keep on truckin''.

[ewoody625]

Thanks for checking in! I know it's been awhile. Sadly I haven't touched the truck in about 4-5 months. I pushed hard to have it ready for my wedding back in September and almost made it. I took it out for for a spin for the 1st time in probably 11 or so years. As I was pulling out of the driveway the check engine light started flashing. I plugged the scanner in to see what was going on, no codes. I had a local LS guy finalize all my wiring and he had said #8 injector wasn't firing. So I'm thinking it's linked to that. I did have a fuel injection cleaning when I had the exhaust work done but it must not have helped. So that's pretty much where I'm at. I'll see if I have any pictures on my phone I can post with this.
