Re: my 80 build
Yesterday I got the gauges wired up on cluster, would of got the indicator, and dash lights wired up and that would of been done, but my parts from summit came so had to look at them and installed the water pump pulley and the window crank handles would installed the crank pulley but it looks like I have to get shorter belts, and a guy came over to buy a few parts and he admired my truck for about hour,

Re: my 80 build
Ive done a few things to my truck in past couple of weeks wired up my factory wiper motor to a universal wiper switch only work on low and low might be a loose ground or I need to spray some lubricant on the mechanics, I wired up my heater blows air out good now to decide about how I'm going to route the heater hoses, and took a few pics of what the inside looks of now, and a few more
my dirt cheap seat I got at the junk yard

Re: my 80 build
I figured out why my wipers would only work on slow had a bad ground, I was Tired of hiting my knee on my radio so I moved it where the factory a/c controls, then I drove my truck it was a liitle ocword with the shifter lever, so I decided to leave it alone, until I know what I really want. I was given a 89-91 bezel that I used since past owner messed up the metal dash were the radio was since I didn't notice it when my truck was getting body work, I mad a piece of diamond plate that covered up the radio opening just didn't take any pics
this was before it was tightened down  also took a bunch of pics of my heater under the dash http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
