Re: My 68 swb build.
Hey 77chris03, I feel for you man, My wife gets on me the same way. I just ask her if she wants to be married to a guy that starts things and never finishes them or one that has dreams and ambitions and sees them through. I also tell her that when I'm finished we will BOTH get the enjoyment and benefit from having a unique truck. The truth is I have been watching this build and I can tell that this is where your talent that God has given has taken you. Your attention to detail and persistence in the face of overwhelming obstacles (like rust) is something you should be really proud of. I hope you keep it and finish it! By the way, I really like your color choice and I'm even thinking of painting mine that color. Keep up the good work!...

Re: My 68 swb build.
Looks good man! And yeah, I think we all go through the woman problems stuff. They get over it after a while. Honestly I think they just need something to complain about and get jealous afraid you love the truck more than them! Shhh we won't tell!

Try to get Brittany out in the shop with you so she doesn't feel left out or neglected, even if she is just hanging out watching & learning. I had the same issues with my wife until I involved her in my projects. She doesn't do much work but we can still talk while I am working and she doesn't feel like I am cheating on her with the other woman any longer. She's not really interested in the build process but she enjoys the finished product so she puts up with it. Mostly she just hangs out and plays around on her iphone but at least we are together. Occasionally I can get her to help out when I need a hand.

Re: My 68 swb build.
thanks guys...i got the front lights spliced and soldered to factory pigtails the other night and they work...but theres something wired wrong under the dash..or in the steering column harness. with all the lights off, the left blinker is on 100%of the time, and the same when you turn on the running lights, but get this, i pull the hazards, and it goes off...something on the ezwiring harness has to be mislabeled....guess its back to a meter, test light and trial/error till i figure it out.

Re: My 68 swb build.
i have a problem with the column and i cant figure it out. someone please chime in and help me out....heres what i got goin on...
steering column is aftermarket of course, but wires are typically the same color. On the OEM pigtail i have White, green, yellow, purple, brown, d. blue, lt. blue and black. im assuming the black is the horn due to its on its own relay. someone correct me if im wrong. on the steering column the colors are matched to the OEM pigtail...White, green, yellow, purple, brown, d.blue, GREY, and black. When i pull the hazard switch out(suppose to be active on flashers) everything is off. (this is backwards, hmmm..) When i push the hazard switch in(suppose to be off) my flashers come on. With switch out, i have power on the brown wire, and with the switch in, i have hazards and all but the black and purple wire are hot, flashing with the flashers....nothing on the cluster works(turn signal lights) and the turn signal lever doesnt even phase a thing...

Re: My 68 swb build.

D.blue..right front signal brown..hazard. Purple..turn signals main power. Yellow..left rear turn. Green..right rear turn white..Brake light

Re: My 68 swb build.
neither can i, getting tired of not driving it...lol
thanks...maybe a little cooler when its done... the tone of the huggers vs the hedman headers is totally different...much deeper tone and no back fire!! after i got the headers on, i drove the truck around the storage unit round and round until i heard it shift into 3rd gear and it was pretty smooth...and with these pipes theres a little more torque..
