Re: project pacific wonder
A long cheap flat head screw driver with the handle removed, in a drill would work.

Re: project pacific wonder
Hey bud, can you provide any pics of the clearance lights install? Or can you describe how you ran the lights from the roof...down? Thanks in advance.
by the way, the Burb looks awesome! |

so the blue circles are the lights on the roof the red wire drops in throught the roof holes i used the wireconnectors you can pull apart. then routed them all together. the kit from LMC was dissapointing and came with the splice fittings that slice and clamp into the wire. then the power wire runs down the inside of the A post and to the switch it is supposed to be grounded with the mounting screws to the body but i am using that grounding kit and want basically overdoing it. so i will run a wire from the underside of the mounting screws to the grounding block. more pictures to come soon i hope.

Re: project pacific wonder
i also picked up a nice lockable fuel cap
its supposed to fit 38-63gmc truck, 38-52full size car, and 53-54 wagons looks like it should fit. if not i will most likely be adapting my fuel neck. what do you think?

Re: project pacific wonder
Awesome job was your rear upper hatch in good shape or did you have to rebuild it? I am not real computer savoy yet to be able to do a build thread , but I am wanting to try and start one. I too am really interested in the 4bt swap and how it goes in and how well it works for such a big truck. I just bought mine this past January and I have been physically and now financially banged up. So right now mine is a survivor driver! I love driving it every where. Can't wait to see the finished project. Did you do the paint your self? Did you figure out where or how the water gets down all of the door pillars and vents? How did you seal your's up? Those are the kind of things I am needing to figure out? Any help?

Re: project pacific wonder
The hatch was in pretty good shape. Never rusted through but rust falling out of the weep holes and you could hear it rattle everytime the hatch as opened or closed. I had it cut open and cleaned up and coated then I re sealed it with tank sealer.
I found the other weep holes and blew them our with a compressor. I had the rocker areas rust sealed the other areas were fine as the rig was garages most of it's life. Aside from the tailgate I only had rust in a small patch on the passenger floorboard and it was only some light surface rust. Oh yeah I had it painted at a body shop one I wouldn't recommend. Not because the paint but because the management. Posted via Mobile Device
