Thanks! Those are the Nfamus arms. Uppers and lowers. Stone Fab also makes some that are great.

Firewall smoothed and painted matte clear, slosh tubz also painted and Matte cleared, almost ready for re-assembling!

they always do, thats the fun...always something to do.

Joseog83 · 12-04-2019, 02:38 PM

Engine compartment coming along..

808_67C10 · 12-05-2019, 01:08 PM

Wow, lookin good! I love the original color combo... she is coming along though. Nice job on the air management clean up. I hate when people just shove it all under the bad half ass... especially when its something that is vital to reliability and drivability. This thing is gonna be sick!

Joseog83 · 12-05-2019, 03:23 PM

Thanks Man! Its coming along now.

808_67C10 · 01-24-2020, 10:57 PM

I need more pics! Been searching for a clean RCSB in Hawaii and SoCal and they are hard to come by... plan to go a similar route and order you are going so far!

Joseog83 · 01-27-2020, 10:58 AM

Started the wiring on it, the previous owner/builder had a cluster-F and rats nest of wiring so we are using the American Autowire to rewire the whole truck and using a BP Automotive standalone harness for the drivetrain.

Joseog83 · 01-27-2020, 11:03 AM

Some more odds & ends installed on the engine.

808_67C10 · 01-28-2020, 04:22 PM

So clean!

Stickman · 03-20-2020, 08:52 AM

Very nice truck, looks like the shop is doing a good job.

Tom · 03-20-2020, 06:47 PM

At this point it seems like you should have just bought a cheap truck since you've rebuilt pretty much the whole thing! Looking great so far.

Yeah, looking back I agree. At the time i trusted it was a solid truck since I bough it from a "Reputable builder" here in Texas. Hindsight is 20/20.

808_67C10 · 03-26-2020, 07:07 PM

I have had that happen to me before as well.... remember the advice: "if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself". Its tough to find an unhacked OBS these days. I have been looking for 6 months now. Regardless, your truck is dope as hell!

I've seen multiple super clean, low mileage OBS trucks sell recently across IG. It's hard to find a CHEAP unhacked OBS. You're going to have to be lucky or pay for an unmolested version.

Joseog83 · 04-09-2020, 04:52 PM

Engine is wired up and running now. Also finally getting to install and get power to these beauties

Joseog83 · 04-10-2020, 08:53 AM

Engine bay coming together. Slosh Tubz installed, needed to trim the passenger side a bit for the Sanden A/C Compressor. Now they are Cleaning up the core support and making the new mounts for the new radiator/fan combo.

The transcooler is also installed, waiting on the two relay kits from
BP Automotive to wire up the cooling system.

Thanks for looking. Cheers.

Joseog83 · 04-15-2020, 11:25 AM

Wiper motor wired in and uses the factory controls after the body was re-wired with the American Auto-wire kit.

Joseog83 · 04-15-2020, 11:29 AM

Transmission Cooler also now plumbed and wired up using the BP Automotive relay kit.

Joseog83 · 04-16-2020, 09:23 AM

The guys are mocking up the front end and building the wiring harness for the lights up front.

Joseog83 · 04-17-2020, 12:07 PM

The wiring for the front end lighting is complete.

Joseog83 · 04-21-2020, 08:50 AM

The guys got the radiator in and mounted along with the overflow tank.
