Getting it running is definitely in the plans. I'm off the whole week after july 4th so well see how much I can get done. Once I get the airbox swapped out for A/C airbox I'll be ready to drop the motor in. I also gotta get the TBI harness swapped out. Learned yesterday that the old tbi caught on fire in this truck so there's a couple connectors that were on the throttle body that got burned up. No worries though I have another harness

Cool man!
I guess you know the firewalls are different between A/C and non A/C cabs. I ran into the PO's hack job on this truck so I cut out the airbox area from my donor 'burb. Also the drivers side upper kick panel has a hole for the fresh air vent that you will need to cover....

*Stitch* · 06-28-2010, 11:40 PM

Yeah thanks for the info. I have some of the stuff left over from my dads trick that I'm gonna use. I think I'm gonna just hack my firewall unless I can find a ac firewall section I can get quickly. Also I have the whole ac system inside and out for it. If for some reason I keep it I'll have to have ac in there for my wife to drive it. Period lol

joe231 · 06-28-2010, 11:45 PM

Yeah, a/c was a must for is too

My daughter's softball coach said that same quote all the time.

So how is the dash coming along? I would imagine with the heat we've had lately it's literally been a sweat shop operation you have going on.

*BGRAFX* · 07-05-2010, 12:37 AM

Happy 4th man! Did u blow anything up or work on the crew any?

joe231 · 07-05-2010, 12:41 AM

dunno, I'm gonna have to do some grinding and need my wider rear diff, unless I can talk some one out of some spacers

not to mention the 12 hour road trip....

RandyP · 07-05-2010, 05:06 PM

Grinding? Spacers? How much more would wheels cost that fit?

joe231 · 07-05-2010, 05:07 PM

LOTS!!!

I'm swapping a 88-98 rear end into the crew in the next couple weeks.....spacers would be temporary

mcbassin · 07-05-2010, 05:14 PM

Glad to hear you nailed down some wheels!

I have loved the 338's every since I saw them on here

*BGRAFX* · 07-05-2010, 05:38 PM

12hour road trip??? You know there are guys in big brown trucks that deliver wheels to your door.
