[thirdstreettito]

More updates on the awesome truck?

[sixty8c10]

I finally got someting to post....putting this together is gonna be a slow process....I am only working on it when it rains.....home repairs/ remodeling are taking up most of my free time.

Super-Nice build. Keep the progress coming.

[Chevyman63]

Just went through the entire thread...very cool. Keep up the good work. The truck looks great!

[bad6772]

Awesome truck..........Looks killer............

[sixty8c10]

made a little more progress this past weekend

coming together.....slowly

[sixty8c10]

I'm sorry this is taking so long guys.....I am getting discouraged. I have been working on the wiring harness, and that is going fairly well. I am nearing completion of the wiring harness, and I started going through the boxes of parts for the next step, the air suspension, and found that I am missing all of my valves, to include dump and fill control valves, pressure switch, air breather for compresser and several of my fittings, until I can save up to replace all of them I am stuck. I don't want to do the bed be cause it would make it harder to run all of my air components, I don't want to do the interior because while I am working on the rest of the truck I will mess up the nice new leather....Once I complete the wiring I hate to say it, but I will have gone as far as I can.....it will take me almost 6 mo to save up to replace my missing parts.....and I don't even know if that is all I am missing. Wish me luck

[Chevyman63]

Good luck dude...hang in there!

[thirdstreettito]

Lookin good! Orange you glad you're close to done?

[watahyahknow]

you could work with the stuff you have sofar and leave the ends of the hoses a little longer so you can fit them perfectly you should be able to work under the bed then too .

or turn over and clean the whole place youre working to try and locate the lost stuff , you had it so it should still be there somewhere should take less time then the 6 months and it makes the place look a lot better in the process

Super nice project. I just read both your build threads. I have to commend you on your spunk to get projects done.
Keep up the good work.

[Alan's Classic]

Read your complete build and I love everything your doing. Awesome! Can't wait to see it all done.

[sixty8c10]

Progress is going slow, but I have gotten the wiring about 97% done, I got to mount My emergency access switch ( in case I lose My remote) and figure out why my wipers don't work. Then wire in a relay for my window to work with the remote. I finished plumbing the brakes and the fuel line. I will try to get some pics up tomorrow.

[huero]

Pic of the dash please. I have to see how it turned out.

[sixty8c10]

I can't find my camera, as soon as I find it I will put up pics. What pics of the dash would you like to see? Its not finished and I am missing pieces for it.

[huero]

New radio location and what you installed in the radio's original location.

[sixty8c10]

Found it heres some pics of the firewall showing how i ran my wires. Followed by the dash, incomplete, but shows what you wanna see i think, a/c controls where the radio used to be

[Spray-Bomb]

Your smoothed out firewall looks really nice bro

[huero]

Very nice. Thanks for the pics.

now I have a question, I got it started sunday evening, and stays running as long as I stand over it pouring gas down the carb. It has a new blazer tank in the rear new 3/8" steel line all the way to the new mechanical pump with an inline filter mounted under the cab. it won't pull the fuel from the tank. i have even gone so far as to prime the line. anyone else with the lwb trucks and blazer tanks have this problem or did you guys just go with a inline electric right off the bat?

Hey, I really like what you have done with your truck. I have a '72 Cheyenne that I am about half way done with and I was planning painting it orange and black. This color orange you picked would be perfect. Is that a factory color or is that a House of Kolor paint? I found one with the same name that is a 2007 Mitsubishi color code M03. Any help would be appreciated.

I just completed a blazer tank install on mine a couple weeks ago and it worked without a hitch. Mine had a supply and return line on it, but not sure if that is specific to the '72. Also these tanks need to be vented in some way. I believe the original caps were vented. I would also check to see that the sending unit you used reaches far enough down into the tank to draw fuel.
