Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Speaking of progress, I made a little.
Radiator support is on for the last time, fenders and fender liners too. My spaghetti dinner all slipped through the giant wiring hole, huge plastic connectors and all. I had to trim the bottom inside edges of the fender liners to let them clear the wider late model frame. I took out a 4 inch by 4 inch corner.

That's weird, I tried refresh and still shows the same...must be my cache....
Edit: shows the 200,094 on mine now even when I refresh it....must just take a bit for it to register the views? either way...that's a lotta views Drew...congrats on breaking the 200K threshold! Looking like you'll have the most viewed build thread ever here in the next month or so! And cool deal on the 1000th post

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I've been glued to this build from the day you cut a mint suburban in half, don't think I've commented yet though. I absolutely love the truck, love the balance between old and new, love the color scheme, I'm surprised how much I like the late model wheels on this body style! I think this truck would look great at ANY ride height. Now that it's FINALLY starting to look like a truck, I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see more!
PS: Cool garage

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Sure is, but I may be going to go out on a limb here, but I'll just bet that Drew has a plan that will make it look simple.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Nice work! On the harness...the simple wiring is one of the things I enjoy about these trucks...so I don't envy you at all at this stage of the build But I see all the labels so hopefully you'll make quick work of sorting out what goes where

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Will you need a shorter master cylinder resevoir or will it clear the hood? (Sorry if it's already been covered)

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
If I measured correctly I think I should need a piece of felt on the cap. It's that close. I needed to get it up off of the steering column and shift linkage. It is covered earlier, but don't remember what page.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
That is one ugly pile of wires. I don't envy you having to mess with all of that.
