Little by little, and it will get done...Jim

One job at a time, done to completion, move on, pretty soon you're done. Sometimes a list helps if you can't finish something until a different something is complete.

Hello Hotrodders... its been a while since I posted an update. Fact is, the project has been slow going, life is fast paced and its been diffucult keeping up. But here we are, I have good news, the truck is closer to being a running truck. Its bitter sweat though. My father worked on it and my goal was to enjoy a ride or two with him. Sadly my dad passed away Sept 26 and he did not get to enjoy it. I have great memories of him and of his passion as he worked on the truck. When we first started to work on it he said it would be his last project and so it was. May he rest in peace.
The good news is that I stopped by my buddies shop this weekend and they were working on it. Fuel rails? Check, motor wiring? Check, injectors? Check, dash gauges? Check...see below... irs exciting to me

Jesse49chevy · 12-03-2025, 07:38 PM

Fuse panel

Jesse49chevy · 12-03-2025, 07:39 PM

Brain storming...

Jesse49chevy · 12-03-2025, 07:47 PM

How do I post a video??

B52bobardier1 · 12-03-2025, 10:27 PM

How to post a video? What works for me is to upload the video to You Tube and then copy and paste the URL link to it in a post here.

Rick

Jesse49chevy · 12-03-2025, 11:53 PM

Lets see if it works

Hello,

It works here very well and you are now an Internet You Tube star. I love the sound of your LS engine. What mufflers are you running? Those door locks are also way less expensive than I thought they would be.

Rick

Jesse49chevy · 12-04-2025, 10:21 AM

Rick, so you mean to tell me Im an INFLUENCER? I can quit my job? Hell yea!!

Mufflers are FLOWMASTER, id have to go back and see which specific model they are. But I beleive the 3" pipe has alot to do with it.
Yea power lock option is not expensive, but require persistence, patience and thin forearms...

**Russell Ashley** · 12-04-2025, 11:32 AM

Your truck is looking great, nice to have some good friends to help along the way. I'm sorry that your Dad didn't get to take a ride in it.

Hey Russell, thank you.. yes he really wanted to see the truck run. This is where I kick myself in the rear for not working on it more often...

**3757chevy** · 12-05-2025, 01:32 AM

Glad to here about the Truck. So sorry about your Dad. We all try to blame ourselves for not getting something done but one never knows when it's our time. Hopefully your Dad is watching and cheering you on.

Jason 56 · 12-12-2025, 10:04 AM

Truck sounds great. Always motivating to hear them run. So sorry about your dad. Finish the truck in his honor as his last project. He’ll be with you in spirit along the way.

Jesse49chevy · 12-13-2025, 07:53 PM

Engine tuning

Jesse49chevy · 12-13-2025, 07:54 PM

Love the sound of that mild cam

B52bobardier1 · 12-14-2025, 04:17 AM

I'm guessing that your picture of an HP Tuners laptop and the sound of the engine means that you have lowered the idle RPM a little????
