Some updates Picked up a small mig welder and starting the learning curve to weld, made my welding cart from a old pressure washer cart. This is the first time I have ever welded so don't be to hard on my welding, but with time I know I will get it even if it takes a while.

Nice job so far. Keep up the good work

my4by2 · 05-28-2011, 10:35 PM

Nice project! Love that you're keeping the 6.2!

PraireCrew · 05-29-2011, 11:46 PM

Looking good, the 6.2 cleaned up nice. I like the color you chose for the truck.

Thanks I'm real happy the way it cleaned up.

Picked up some new seats I could not pass them up. Came from a 2010 GM Truck.

madcow75 · 06-03-2011, 09:51 PM

Cool did you get the center councel to go with the front seats?

adaguy · 06-04-2011, 02:58 PM

Love your project, im also restoring a crew cab. Could you tell me more about what you had to do to the firewall for the A/C conversion. Also any gotchas that you can pass along.

Hey thanks man, I would like to see some pics of what your working on. As for the firewall I have my parts suburban that I cut out that part of the firewall out and welded it in.

jimbonice · 06-05-2011, 11:39 AM

It's going to be a sweet rig!

lilpoindexter · 06-05-2011, 11:26 PM

I'm glad you decided to try welding. I have to ask my co-workers, or my crabby old pops whenever I need something welded.

PraireCrew · 03-17-2012, 11:03 PM

Some updates, it's been slow but I am happy with the progress. I got the motor installed and running it sure sounds nice in there and the fuel tank mounted with new fuel lines.

Couldnt agree more! You're doing an AWESOME job! Love the way your 6.2 looks.

PraireCrew · 03-25-2012, 10:38 PM

Thanks for the comments guys. This weekend I have worked on the wiring, got the front end lights wired up and the interior lights working, had a few damaged wires to take care of. Also mounted my air intake box and working on mounting my batteries sideways so I had room for everything. Also ran new wires for all the rear lights.

ghettoluxury · 03-26-2012, 07:42 AM

How big is your rear mount tank?

madcow75 · 03-26-2012, 07:43 AM

Looks to me like a 31 gallon blazer tank.

Yup you got it.

madcow75 · 03-26-2012, 08:21 AM

I did the same on my CC. Got ride of the two tanks and went with one less problems, less parts to worry about.

JPalmer81 · 05-03-2012, 08:27 AM

Any new updates?

v30crewcab · 05-03-2012, 09:25 AM
