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.

So, you had a few hours now....did you finish the punch list

Actually, it's 2:30 here

Tell my newborn to go to bed....she's reversed our schedule....and I work for myself so I just go to bed late and wake up late....

VA72C10 · 09-28-2011, 06:48 PM

still says 199,951??? Wonder what's up with the post counts?

VA72C10 · 09-28-2011, 06:55 PM

especially since I see there are other people viewing the thread even if it's only been the three of us posting in the last hour

**oldman3** · 09-28-2011, 07:01 PM

When I refreshed my page it showed 200,094....Jim (Oh an a special for me was on my 1,000 post it was to Drew yesterday Ha Ha.

VA72C10 · 09-28-2011, 07:07 PM

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

**Dieselwrencher** · 09-28-2011, 08:01 PM

It keeps getting better!

ChevyGuyNC · 09-28-2011, 08:14 PM

As everyone else has said... wow. Just wow. Fantastic work! Can't wait to see the final touches.

Mr Pops · 09-28-2011, 08:47 PM

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

**67cheby** · 09-28-2011, 10:30 PM

LOL..guess i can go ahead and crash now

**oldman3** · 09-29-2011, 09:20 AM

Now that's a lot of spaghetti, what no cheeze.....Jim

**67cheby** · 09-29-2011, 09:29 AM

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.

Thanks for that vote of confidence, but really I'll be winging it. I hope there's no in-flight disaster.

VA72C10 · 09-29-2011, 11:08 AM

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

thor · 09-29-2011, 12:54 PM

Will you need a shorter master cylinder resevoir or will it clear the hood? (Sorry if it's already been covered)

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.

Time for an index to the different chapters.

68 TT · 09-30-2011, 03:03 PM

Truck is looking great Drew. Keep it coming.

68 TT · 09-30-2011, 03:04 PM

That is one ugly pile of wires. I don't envy you having to mess with all of that.
