Re: Project ''Second Time Around''
Last week I pulled the rear X-member out and built a compressor bracket between the frame rails. I also ran the wiring for the compressor and elec fan and hooked up the old switches, for now, to make some test runs. This week was spent splicing the newer door panels in. There were a few wires that were different, such as the red wire was pink on my 93, not a big deal but took more time to figure out. Also got the front end put back together and made a few laps around the neighborhood. When I was digging around in the part cab I found the head light switch on the floor under the wiring harness.
The next thing on the list is get the bed cut down to fit and get this thing put back together and put some miles on it.

Re: Project ''Second Time Around''
Tonight I spent 3 hours cutting down the bed. Made a call to my brother for some help lifting it back on. Had to cut 15'' out of the center and 3''above the wheel well. Still need to do a final trim.

Re: Project ''Second Time Around''
I've been super busy lately. Let's start off with the interior pieces; I modified my a-pillar because the lower section of the square dash is different and doesn't match the round dash. I didn't want to use the grab handle so I took the lower section of the '95 and grafted it into the upper section of the '93.
First I used JB Weld to fuse the pieces together then on the back side I used three layers of fiberglass and resin for strength. These two pieces are different sizes so I had to shave the '95 piece down to match and ended with body filler to smooth the two pieces in one.

Re: Project ''Second Time Around''
I really need to update this post. Since last year I've torn the truck down for a 2'' bodydrop. the front horns are done and the cab is cut and welded back together. I still need to make some mounts for the seats. Next is the bed. I'll take some pics in the next little while.

Re: Project ''Second Time Around''
Thanks for checking my build out. I was starting to think no one was interested in this thread, but i have been plugging away at this thing. The interior is mostly done. I picked up a new steering wheel from Summit and some new headlights, turn signals and corner light along with some led tail lights. For the last month I've spent smoothing the bed and building a speaker box with two 15'' subs to port though the cab. I'll try to get my pictures updated in the next week or so.

Re: Project ''Second Time Around''
Well the week has been hard. The flames are gone, except the hood, and the body is black primer. That was so hard to sand off something I spent so much time painting, there is no going back. I am keeping the hood to hang in my cave. I also made new inner fenders and splash guards for the bed. Body work sucks.

Re: Project ''Second Time Around''
This week I've been Working on the front fenders. We have had warmer weather here in Utah; it's been a colder than usual winter. I did promise pics. Here is the sub box I built. Test fit, even had it hooked up. Yeah, it thumps. I used some door seal and some vinyl for a flexable seal between the cab and the bed.

Re: Project ''Second Time Around''
I have to apologize for the slow update; things have been crazy busy here. I was out of town for work for what was supposed to be 3 weeks. But that rapidly turned into 6 weeks and finished at 8 weeks. That blew my completion schedule giving me 3 weeks to get my truck done. The good thing, being out of town so long forced me to put in tons of hours on the truck. In 3 weeks, I had it primed, blocked, painted and put back together and I drove it to the Severed Ties vote in meeting. From there it took 2 weeks to cut and buff the thing. I will have pictures after July 1st and I'll go through in detail of all the things that I've done.
Good news? It's DONE. It's back together. It drives. It drags. It throws sparks.
