turns out i only took a few of the front but the install was pretty straight forward. the front you have to drill out 2 rivets and everything else bolts up. the rear you have to drill 6 holes. 2 in the frame and 4 in the trailing arms.

Good looking truck!!!! Keep on Truckin'

[XwalkerX]

didnt do too much this week, just a few simple things

picked up some cheap projector headlights for the HID kit the PO installed



added a new washer bottle



i also fixed the sloppy drivers side door seal which would let some air in the cab at highway speed and then gave the interior a good cleaning before adding a few essential touches





then to my surprise after the gym this morning the gf even wanted to drive it

[XwalkerX]

tach installed...but i am still waiting on the converter from dakota digital

[Mapearso]

Nice truck!!

[67 chevelle]

Big mistake , now shes always gona wana drive , great engine l33 , could you post a picture of it and give some info on the high mount ac compressor

[XwalkerX]

i ordered (what is hopefully) my last batch of stuff for a while

10" flat powered sub for underseat mounting




tach signal converter




billet radio bezel to cover up the less than clean looking cut when someone installed the aftermarket headunit







new ignition bezel



3 point seat belts



shift indicator (the white part)



emergency brake handle



black gas tank carpet



door sill plates





now I just have to find the time to install everything

[XwalkerX]

too soon junior...

bought a voltmeter from a box chevy for my cluster so I can ditch the ammeter gauge that's in there now.

[XwalkerX]

small progress update.

finally got around to wiring in the Dakota Digital tach signal converter and the under-seat subwoofer
oh and i put on the bump stops for the rear axle

still waiting for the rest of the stuff to arrive...

[XwalkerX]
