Jim Bob a build thread

[motornut]

just checked i hadn't mentioned i've done the radio there before....
using the metal straps for bracing
78 burb and the 87
I fit the older reg head unit(shown before)and the crossover under it
it had been hit and I started taking the radio out so it looks loose,
but it will take a 1.5 din there

Does the tach spin counter clockwise when you shut off the truck?

[Telecasterjoey]

Posted via Mobile DeviceNice! That makes sense!

[motornut]

got the radio in, hooked up
all seems good
got a few things to tidy up

[kikkegek]

why did you put it in the spot of the ventilation hole?

[motornut]

No AC ,
Don't smoke cigarettes
lol may help avoid a rear ender
Can actually read the display
And pickup a trim piece to go around the head unit
And a I phone holder
Wife n Son paid for the radio and 4 speakers for my birthday yesterday.

[motornut]

I want to make the burb center seat into the jimmy
at this point it dosn't fit between the seats
strip it down,build it up

John, still having problems with the Jimmy, anyways I have some aftermarket parts for the gauges and I need a few pictures from you showing how to install the lighter, because when I tried it, it took away the dome light and horn, :/ I am a little frustrated at the moment so can I get a shout out please?

it could be the actual lighter part you push in ,not all are the same
how did you get power?
could be an orange right there....
black to ground?

[RoughKuntry]

Another problem I am having with the rig is, I bought a aftermarket Holly Distributor, with a coil pack, yet I am having problems trying to find the Coil pack to the Flame Thrower Distributor that is on there now?

[motornut]
