Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
As was suggested to me, I bent the metal portion of my front brake hoses to help them clear the spindle and ball joint nut. I still need to get banjo bolts, the ones I have are too big for some reason, but I think this will work...

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Need a little motivation, so I was going through old pics. Found one of the ride I had in High School, also a '68 but of the Camaro kind. The first is from around 1991, and the second is from 1998-99... good times! Okay, enough of that, I'm going out to work on my truck!

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Waiting for some parts to come in, so to combat the boredom I had a friend make an adjustment in wheel color... what do you think?

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I think you are right, no trim rings for sure.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Truck sits well, I like the silver wheels better. Trim rings may fix this!

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Not much completed over the weekend other than the drive shaft. It was just way too hot... I did order a new engine management harness from PSI this morning, we'll see if that helps the progress any. lol

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Updates:
- Brakes filled, bled, and leak checked... so far so good. - New harness is laid out and I am currently building an ECM mount for under the dash in the glove box area. - Radiator is mounted, but I have yet to get hoses. - Trying to figure out what to do with for the air intake system... That is where I am, I'll give another update as soon as I complete more. Until then here are a few pics of the harness pass through.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I'm about to do this myself, and was wondering how I was going to get a tight fitting grommet/hole in the firewall and still be able to get my connections on each end of the harness through it.
Yours came out very nice. Did you manage to get a completed harness through that hole, or did you put the wiring through before you put connectors on your harness? I've tried looking for "reducer grommets" (for lack of a better term), but haven't really had much luck. I also thought of sliding a grommet over the wire bundle before I built the harness, making a large hole in the firewall, and then making a sheet metal cover to reduce the big firewall hole to the small grommet. That way I could still pull the whole harness down the road without any cutting. I really like your truck by the way. The spirit of my build is very similar. ![]()

No pics yet, I'm trying to get it finished up so I can get some pictures. Hopefully by the end of the year. This is how she sits right now, plus hubs, brakes, and sound deadening inside the cab. Keep up the good work!

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
A little more progress so far today. Been working on the ECM mount, it's a bit crude but should work just fine. This sequence shows from when I started until the final test fit, just have to scuff and paint it.

I'll have to get my pictures together and see what I can do about a build thread. I've gotten a lot of good ideas and help from the ones I looked at, maybe I've got a trick or two up my sleeve that someone else could use. Keep up the nice work!
