This should help your ign switch last longer and get you 12V power to your HEI.

Another vote for lower trim only...and those wheels are KILLER!

Alright guys, haven't been doin too much to the truck lately. Between the semester ending up at school and the freezing cold weather it's been hard finding time to spend in the garage. The top of my list is sealing the cab up. I ordered some new windshield trim on Monday so once that gets here I can put the windshield in. When I was in mooresville over thanksgiving I picked up my side glass but I need to take the channels off the glass, sand and paint them, and then put them back on. Once that's done the cab will be sealed up and ready to go. I have a couple pictures of my tailgate and wheel tubs from the painter, everything turned out really sweet!!

Just need to get some stainless hardware and I can put the tailgate on

[Graham57a]

Also had a little free time in the construction lab after class today so I built a set of poor mans elephant stands so I can actually fit underneath this thing

Looking good Andrew! Windows, exhaust, bed liner, and ???

[Mr Chevorlet]

Andrew you have done a tremondous job on your build and that is one beautiful truck.

[knomadd]

Moving right along. Looking better and better. I'll be needing to make those stands myself when it comes time to do a transmission swap. Not sure which car I'll do first, but I won't be able to get to the GTO without some of those.

I really like your truck. everything looks good. Keep it up!

Thanks Knomadd, the stands were really easy to make and very sturdy. Definitely worth the time!!

Looks awesome, love the brake setup

[Dieselwrencher]

Andrew, it is looking sweet! Did you figure out all your wiring problems yet? What are your front calipers off of? They look pretty sweet!

Thanks man, I have not figured out the wiring yet. I did find the leak but the ignition is still acting up. I'm gonna go to the parts house tomorrow and get a new ignition switch and see if that fixes it. And the calipers came off an ARCA car. They're Alcon 4 pistons, not sure which model

[Bhelton]

Gotta get this truck done for the parkway ride in spring!

[Rusbuilt]

Very nice sir!

Don't worry, it will definitely be driveable by then. Probably never done

Alright I finished up my exams for the semester yesterday so I got a little time to work on Jane this morning. Got a new ignition switch and the electrical problem is resolved, I'm so glad that is behind me haha. I also installed some of the tailgate trim and the passenger side glass. Took a little time to figure out the order in which everything had to be installed but I got it eventually. Also did the passenger weatherstrip. Used a bunch of tape and some 3m high strength adhesive and everything turned out sweet. Next is drivers door but I need to tap the holes on the drivers window regulator, I think it is an aftermarket piece and for some reason the holes are a different size. Once I get that done I can get the drivers door dialed in and I can seal up the cab when my windshield trim gets here.

Not sure why all the pictures rotate but I'll try and figure it out

[Graham57a]

That was a pain. I'll post the rest later tonight when I'm at the computer

Did the bed get disassembled during the repaint? If so, are your gaps even all the way down the length of the gate? To be clearer, looking at the drivers side gap, is the gap narrower on the bottom than at the top? On the passenger side, is the gap wider at the bottom than at the top? If this is the case, check to see if the bed is square. It's possible that the bed bolts can be loosened and the panels shifted slightly to make the gaps fit.

If the gaps are even from top to bottom, you might look at the connection points from the gate to the bed. You might be able to do some tweaking with the connections points to get it to fit. I underlined might because I haven't had to do this so I really don't know. Hopefully this is an easy fix.
