Dad came down this weekend, and my brother Dan came over to help, too.

Dan and Dad taking the front clip apart so we can get rid of the old core support.

Cab is on!

Got the new core support on, along with some of the AC stuff.

Buttoned up some loose ends here

Dan doing some wiring for the VHX dash

Contemplating the best way to tackle the disassembly.

Rolled it outside today and got some nice shots of it outside, since it's FINALLY starting to warm up here

New carpet for it, from ACC.

Vintage Air unit all installed and wired.

New core support, battery box, etc.

I also located where the 4x4 shifter needs to go, and cut the holes. Still need to install it, and adjust the linkage.

Nice work Jeff!

swamp rat · 03-30-2014, 11:14 PM

Sweet!

Farm Shop · 04-09-2014, 12:37 PM

Great progress. Your dad has to be getting itchy to go for a cruise.

woodwright · 04-18-2014, 12:47 AM

What kind of mileage are you expecting? I know the 2wds can do pretty well, but what about a lifted 67-72?

mcbassin · 04-18-2014, 07:35 AM

Awesome progress! the interior and engine bay look great.

C10Greg · 05-23-2014, 10:20 PM

Nice work on the truck. Looks great! I noticed in post 35 that you don't have a tailgate handle and it appears that you did not use the standard relocation kit, unless I just missed it. Care to divulge any secrets!

**Ol Blue K20** · 05-28-2014, 11:34 PM

Lookin really good

Mr Chevorlet · 06-09-2014, 02:50 PM

That is one nice build and beautiful truck.

Wasted Income · 06-13-2014, 12:34 AM

Been quite awhile since I posted an update...

Got the newer truck shifter installed.

And then the seats put in

I then welded bosses to the new aluminum radiator to mount the Dodge Intrepid electric fan to.

Fits nice

Random shot with my blazer in the background

AC and heater hoses finished up

ECM mounted

Slapped the fenders and hood on quick to get them off the floor. Still need to align everything

Got everything outside of the shop for spring cleaning

Pulled the front diff cover to check everything out and change the oil

Rebuilding the front hubs

New bearings, studs, rotors...the parts store gave me 2wd calipers so I still need to exchange them yet.

Gettin close buddy

Great work as usual!

mcbassin · 06-19-2014, 11:53 PM

Awesome progress!

Wasted Income · 06-25-2014, 07:57 AM

Well THAT was a pain in the azz...and I'm glad it's finally done.

Been poring over what to do about a fuel filler for months. Didn't really want to cut a hole externally in the bedside, but it needed to be fairly easy to get to.

Here's what I ended up with...

Decided to start with the inside fuel filler cover from a Blazer

Then start cutting it up and get to work

Found a nice vented boat filler neck with integrated cap, should work nicely. The only issue is that to get the angle of the neck right, the "GAS" reads upside down. I know that's going to drive my dad nuts....because it drives ME nuts....but it is what it is.

I backpurged and TIG'd a stainless tube to allow for the flow to be as smooth as possible to the tank. It will also be durable, especially if it happens to come in contact with the bed supports that I plasma'd out.

Finished product!

ryanroo · 06-25-2014, 08:43 PM

Itll look right side up if you look over the side of the bed!

2000Limited · 06-26-2014, 12:38 AM

Wasted Income · 06-30-2014, 09:32 AM
