Re: 58 GMC Project
Which kit did you go with from american wiring? I was looking over them and they seen like pretty good kit. And did you get the kit with the new light switch?

Re: 58 GMC Project
Thanks kyle4381! I finished the wiring last weekend. Now all I need to do is install the gas pedal and just go over evrything under the truck making sure it's all tighten up so I can give it's first drive around the block.

Hey Jebb, You have made some really great progress on yours! I remember back a year ago, you were just going get her running again and now your doing a frame off, now that's COOL. I just install the gas pedal, so maybe by the end of the weekend I'll be driving her down the road.

Re: 58 GMC Project
WHAT A GREAT DAY!!! I took my truck out on her maiden voyage! My son and I stared out today installing one seat to sit on for the drive. We tried to start her up, but she just was turning over. I got out and found gas coming out of the fuel pump at the fitting. We ended up pulling the pump off and found the threads were stripped at the outlet for the fittings. I took a quick trip to the parts store and bought a new pump. We installed it and she fired right up! I then added some trans fluid and put her into drive and the wheels began to roll! So out the driveway, then down the street! Man what a feeling! Almost 2 years in the building and I was now driving her with a smile from ear to ear! My son shot some video and being the smart computer kid he is, well try and post a link for me to share with all of you.

Re: 58 GMC Project
Thanks tiggerstoy! It's been a 2 year project, so I guess you could say I took my time.
