Not forgotten, we have been cleaning up the sport mirrors, ordering door felts, vent wing rubber, and rebuilt kit. I talked to my buddy and they are massaging the cowl so the gaps are pretty... It will slow down a bit as we need to save up for the ron francis wiring kit, tach dash, etc, etc.
you have made much progress... keep at it....

NWD02 · 01-05-2010, 04:29 PM

Since you're doing so good on the progress, how about I trailer mine to you and let you finish it? Sounds good to me... haha

What is the biggest difference in the Ron Francis kit and the Amercian Autowire kit?

from the research i have done. AAC does not have a direct replacement for the 67-68 currently as the ebrake location is in the way. they do offer for 69-72 though. I have a Ron Francis in my '56 and would just like to stay the same with my son's as i have never had issue and the support when i installed the harness was phenomenal, and i hear it still is.

I don't know if this is a rumor, but i have heard that a ex Ron Francis engineer started AAC, but i never researched it. both kits looks awesome, i just want to be able to tell the vendor what i have, and it shows up ready to plug and play , no cutting and reconnecting the connectors etc.

bring the keys Nick! Think i will need to test drive it a bit to make sure it's safe before i give it back... I could even drive it back to you!

0331grunt · 01-05-2010, 06:32 PM

Thanks for the info..

NWD02 · 01-05-2010, 07:43 PM

I used the Ron Francis Kit on mine. It looks clean and the cusotmer service is great. I went with them because it was explained to me they build the kit for each vehicle. They keep record of the serial number of the kit incase you have problems.

**67cheby** · 01-05-2010, 07:49 PM

i know nothing about these kits, can you get one that is factory style just ready to plug ?? what are the price ranges

hotrod 80 · 01-10-2010, 12:05 AM

We need current pics . Man it is coming along nice .

You can get direct replacement but I'm far from stock, thus
the need for a custom harness. Check americanautowire.com, you could also pm mike (mbgmike) a board vendor.

So wheres the pics of the new K10 I saw you mention?

I think it took a couple of hrs, with a few BLB's in between (BudLight Breaks)

i attached a pic

Can't wait to see the build thread on that one. With the LS powerplant it will be a bad boy truck...10-4 on the BLB

I see that now..... well silver and charcoal are my son's two favorite colors, was gonna be charcoal grey, then silver, then possibly sunburst orange metallic ( thanks to Mistress) 16 yo's change their mind alot, so now we have some of each color.

Thats a nice Longhorn by the way.....

It ought to be considering that dude's been working on it for almost 10 years.

I know what you mean, budics truck does look hot. I sure like the looks of yours too though. I'd leave it like it is.

gcburdic · 01-14-2010, 09:07 AM

thanks guys.....Heath....I like the choices too....that's just crazy you both have the same paint scheme....I won't tell if you don't
