Wrapped the headers today and the pipes back to the mufflers. Not to bad for the first time. Thanks to Robert (cknfrmr) for all the help today definitely not a single person job.

[cknfrmr]

Heck I always come out ahead with the knowledge I get. And this time a little itchy. Ha Ha Ha. Also have so much fun and get to see that truck. I don't see how anyone could get the wrap real tight by themselves either. The last pic is where Larry caught me admiring/day dreaming of his truck going down the road and me following behind when we get em done. Thanks again for the parts hook up.

Looks good. If I hadn't been working over at Smoking Harley Davidson today I would've. Come and hung out. I couldve supervised. Lol. What kind of wire loom/holders are you using? I like'em

Headers look nice and cozy in there. I wonder if you'll notice a sound difference. I guess you were able to get it done in one day.

Not sure on the sound as I have never heard it prior but I would say it would definitely change the tone some. It is actually supposed to help the flow become faster also. Yes, it took us about 4 hours to complete that included un-mounting , wrapping and bolting the headers and pipes back on. I would say you definitely do not want to try to tackle this without an extra hand.

Sorry, I totally missed your question here, I bought the wire looms off Amazon.

Had a pretty productive day today at the truck shop, thanks to chknfrmr, got the rear glass in, steering column mounted and steering shaft installed, master cylinder bolted in, grill assembled and bolted in, front caliper bolted on drivers side, drivers fender mounted, front bumper mounted and set the hood on to check alignment. Planning to try and finish the doors up this week so they can be mounted.

I still cant believe last weekend it was a frame with a motor n transmission on it. Its really coming together quickly. The countless hours that you spent getting it to just perfect really paid off. Its truly a one of a kind truck. Seeing it in person and how everything ties in and together is amazing. Glad I am able to give you a hand and hang out. Its a great way unwind and learn a bunch about restoration of these beauties.

[GR8-68]

It is hard to believe it is actually going together. I am working on the tach cluster piecing it together. Time to get the doors finished up nd hung and get all the glass in this ride. Get rhe brake fluid topped off and bled out and check for any lleaks

I know you're never supposed to ask a women how much she weighs; but how much money do you think you have invested into this build?

Great build thread. Thank you for taking the time to document what you've accomplished.

I would not even know where to begin, I have not even kept track as I knew it is not cheap.

Thank you for taking the time to read through my build thread, hopefully soon it will come to a close.

Thanks, the long haul is getting closer to the end. Time to get back at it here soon though I have not had a chance to work on it much lately

Finally was able to get to the truck shop today and with the help of cknfrmr was able to get the cab bolted on radiator support and filler, inner fenders and right fender. Finally starting to come together.

Looking good. That engine bay is looking awesome

[GR8-68]

Thanks , trying to get as much done as possible before I get the boot and have no where to work on it

What's your plan on the wiring? I like the painless 16 circuit harnesses.

[GR8-68]

I also have a painless 16 circuit harness, it will be located in the glove box area. When you open the glove door you will see the 2 computer controls for the fuel injection and transmission and the fuse panel. I am trying to keep the engine compartment as clean as possible, the battery is located under the bed just behind the cab.

Sounds a lot like mine. The tool aid crimpers do an awesome job on packard 56 terminals.
