Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Another day, another bit of progress.
I scavenged these rear control arm brackets off of one of the Yukons that had rear leveling. They are designed to clamp to the upper control arm. Perfect, just what I need for the front leveling sensors. I put them in the vise and modified them to work for my application and now am finished with the front sensors. I ran the wires to the rear and installed my exhaust for the last time. I also plugged up everything at the transmission and had an entire harness left dedicated to the transfer case that was completely separate all the way to the fuse box. I unplugged it there and tossed it.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
This was funny: Friends in the neighborhood were walking by and stopped to talk, we ended up in the garage to see the progress. They were looking at the cab, discussing what a pretty color it was, and then turned around to see the engine, trans, frame etc. and said "now whats this". I forget sometimes that I'm not normal. Normal people don't even think about what is under the body that they can't see. I gently explained that this was the part to make it go. They said "oh".

This is going to be one nice truck.. As far as the friends go who were unaware that a vehicle requires not only a frame,but a drivetrain...all I can say is,that you're normal,and they're,well....Momma always said if you can't say something nice,don't say anything at all. (Chuckle) I wonder if there are folks who think that vehicles run on magic,gasoline and oil? |

Wow, Drew! You must have a mind like a steel trap. I'd have gotten so confused by now. Keep it up. You're really showing us all the true meaning of posibilities.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Oh my, as if I didn't have enough wires to fool with already.
I pretty well finished the air ride wiring that all ends up inside the cab under the rear seat. I ran the main power harness to the front fuse panel, but won't connect it til I get the factory wiring sorted out. I stole a floor wiring grommet from one of the Yukons knowing I would need it for this.

It was nice meeting another board member, even if we are newbies. You can just grab the gas pedal when you return the spring compressors.
