Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

Here are some close up shots of what it takes to do this. I had to cut up the cowl area that water would flow out to make room for the fresh air intake. As I understand it, aftermarket kits don't have any fresh air capability which makes it harder to defrost/fog.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

I also cut out a lot of the new unit plenum, which I will have to make a new one and attach my vent hoses. About 1 inch of side space shown through the vent hole and top of unit jammed into the bottom of the cowl I left intact. The last pic is my foot flat on the floor tucked up behind the unit like you are able to do in a new truck.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

It's coming, it's coming.

Tonight I quickly made a sheet-metal plenum that I will cut holes in and feed my supply tubes into. I welded it together and seam sealed the corners. The plenum sits on top of the new unit. I wish I could get a picture of the super tight bundle of snakes. You just have to be here to see.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

The last of the fenders and doors are ready for a final primer sealer.
The roof is getting closer.
The drivers side is virtually done, passenger needs a little more love.

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.

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.

Love the zip-tie curb feelers in the fourth pic.

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".
