Re: Greg65 build thread
On the way back home my son had to snap a few pictures under the big lights.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Started working on the engine wiring harness. I removed all the unnecessary wires and added a small fuse block and relays. Also mounted everything behind the seat.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Worked some on the front part of the fuel system. Still trying to figure the best routing for the fuel line.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Glad to see you still plugging away, Greg! I know what you mean about aftermarket stuff. I recently installed some new taillights on my '97 Tahoe, & it took forever to get them to fit how I wanted. Like yours, I had to resort to modifications.
On a completely different note, how about that Tide? What a game it was! Great way to cap off your birthday as well. ![]()

Re: Greg65 build thread
Did you lengthen the harness to be able to reach the back of the cab? I kinda like the idea of mounting the PCM back there.

Re: Greg65 build thread
A little more progress. My hydraboost brackets from Captain Fab came in a few weeks ago so I started getting the lines made up. Very nice pieces also. Tallon Hydraulics makes some really nice -an fittings that screw into the booster for the Russell -an power steering lines.

Re: Greg65 build thread
I decided to use a bulkhead fitting through an existing hole in the frame to cut down on the length of the pressure hose. A couple my lines and the system should be complete.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Hey Greg, nice build, just starting on my 65, I see you got it pretty low with what looks like conventional suspension, what drop did you use, and I see no notch in frame ? Also what did you paint the frame with, looks good !

Re: Greg65 build thread
Thank you. I actually haven't touched the truck too much in a while. All the suspension came from Early Classic Enterprises. The front is 2 1/2 drop spindles and two inch drop springs while the rear has six inch drop springs, shock brackets, and a track bar kit. Look back I should have installed the notch before painting the frame. As far as the color I told our body shop at work to paint it semi gloss black. There is a wealth of knowledge on this with a bunch of great guys. Good luck with your build. Can't wait to see some progress.

Re: Greg65 build thread
I guess while I got my frame stripped may as well notch then, I'm running a BB 454, wonder if the weight is too nose heavy for lowering springs on front, maybe just springs but no spindle drop, what tire and wheel combo you running ? I like how it sits !

Re: Greg65 build thread
I would go with the spindles and a one inch lowered spring. The spindle helps correct the suspension geometry that is affected by being lowered. The wheels are Centerline Tel Star 15X7 with 235/70R15 front and 15x8 with 275/60R15 rear. The wheels have been on the truck for over twenty years. Wow time really flies by.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Looks like you need to change your location. Anticipate getting back on yours anytime soon, or are you enjoying the AL Gulf coast too much?
