Placed an order for my front headlite harness from M&H, mods to include...Hi and Low beam relays, Alt. pass. side w/ SI hook up. I have to send my engine harness back so the can add a 12 volt source to it. Asked about why they use a pink wire instead of red, it turns out that pink indicates a keyed source as opposed to red which is a constant source of 12 volts, learn something new everyday
can never have enough pink in a harness

OK, no disagreeing with your rationale.

Picked up fenders at Maaco, 2 part epoxy primer in white, with fender badges from JBristo. Gotta paint the red insert

GMC Support?...(sssshhhhh). Almost everything coming in lately is late model stuff. I've sent a few different samples out for costing on these trucks...awaiting the "Bottom line" to find out if we'll move forward on them

I feel your pain. I have gotten where I do all my own part research at home and then just go in asking for the specific part number. Seems like I don't make as many mistakes as some of those guys, and that's saying A LOT!

Re: PO has me PO'd

Well, just got my seat tracks for the utilities from Low'nSlow. Very clever to wire the whole thing together in case the box breaks open, smart guys on this board. The shop rags were a bonus, nice surprise! Thanks Doug. Now I can use a drivers side for the passenger(don't want the seat to flip forward)
Since the bolt pattern is longer by 3" I can use the shorter bucket seat holes to mount up an alum. plate as an underfloor stiffner
The three of us will get busy cleaning and painting, maybe this project will go faster with the extra help

Re: PO has me PO'd

Modified M&H wire harness showed up yesterday, it has a green wire marked halagen lights, don't know what that is all about. Has relays for high and low beam, wired for SI Alt. and now has a fusible link that it didn't have before. Ordered the M/C Booster locally again, we'll see if they get it rite
