Thanks buddy, I think they look a little better than those old KMCs, dont you??

[bigblock73]

I got my starting/charging/ignition system all plumbed and wired in...man, was that more work than I anticipated!! I spent more time routing and hiding wires than I did actually hooking stuff up, but it should all be worth it.

Here is a pic of the MSD components all wired and installed under the dash.

BTW - wicked, your stepside looks sweet...and mean...all at the same time.

BTW again, bagged74, those look MUCH better.

I got the 305 and 2004R put into the 79. Now I need to finish with the little stuff and get her running so I can sell it asap.

Well I had a great weekend. Helped a buddy plumb his 92 camaro with all new brake lines from master to all 4 calipers. He put in a custom Engine K member so we just rebent all new lines for everything from front to rear!!! A word of advise, Stay away from brass brake fittings!!! Go with steel whenever possible. Took gas tank out of same Camaro. Going to fit it with a sump kit and convert it over for a mech pump. Doing away with the electric pump. Got to my project later in the day. Got my ladder bars setup on the 92 FSC. Ran brake lines from proportion valve over to rear end. Welded a tab to hold line from rear to the frame. Installed panhard bar and centered everything in the rear. Put wheels and tires on it Sunday. Got this thing on the ground for the first time in 6 months. Even rolled it up and down the drive just for the heck of it. Ordered a new grille and all new lights, markers etc etc. Today I cleaned the underside of the bed and coated it with a spray in bediner from a can. Turned out nice. Im getting there!!!! Oh yeah and I found time to pick up my tools.

Boyd 20x8.5's and 20x12's they are the Nemisis style from the *****in' series.
They are also the soft lip (no step design)
Toyo 325/50/20's in the rear
Toyo 255/40/20's in the front

Are you sure on that rear tire?? Those are almost 33" tall

Mine is a 5 speed. I am 6' and fit ok even with 2 10's behind the seat, its really what you are used to. My seat is not all the way back.

One word of warning though, the 94-97 2.2l s-trucks were bad for blowing head gaskets. The good news is the water jacket leaks to the outside of the head, so no internal damage. As a matter of fact, mine has been blown for about 6 years. I put a lower psi radiator cap on and just add water about once a week when I drive it every day. Other than that I havent had any problems with the truck.

Phantom - Beautiful, looks like that truck is coming along great, hahaha, wish our 93' looked that good (yeah, we got a 93' 2wd SWB the other weekend and I kinda cleaned it up a little this weekend) and do you have any pics of the front end??

As far as what I did this weekend I

1) Did some more cleaning on the new 93' SWB (1 Owner, Turqouise, Lowered & C-notched and pinstriped, Fully Loaded, just hit 100k.) I will have some more pics after the euro's are removed..

(I don't know how much longer this pic will be here as Car Corner is now closed and this is an older pic of the truck off the website)

2)Took my ugly and painted Edelbrock performer intake off and installed a new Enduroshine Edelbrock Performer EPS manifold and then took brown for a little jaunt around the hill. I'll post the pics of it later....

3)Went and watched the American Miss pagent in Kent/Seattle washington, my little sis was among the top 25 finalists and it was her first year there so I thought that was pretty cool

Front end is going to the garbage hopefully by the weekend!!

[N2TRUX]

I think your going to be pleased with them once you get them mounted up. Get them on and show us some pics....
