Re: Finally seeing some progress...
Looking good, I like the clean appearance of the single window. What are you doing for a mirror?

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
No problem. Feel free to give me a call though, I went to nights in March, 10p-6a.
With the help of a friend I've been making little progress with the wiring. He's been teaching me as he does the wiring. |

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
Ok, I finally got some more work done. It's no longer a single-legged chicken. I installed the posi unit I bought from a board member. It's was awesome and super easy. Thanks Raland for cleaning the unit up before I got it from you. I had never changed one out before so a good friend helped me out. Here's a few pictures of before and after.
Tomorrow I hope to finish up the wiring and install the speaker and radio. I'll post more pictures as soon as I do. |

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
Ok Heath... You've been making me look bad with all your progress. Today I actually did something. The fuel lines are completely finished. I got the rear drums installed. I installed new everything on the rear brakes, springs, pads, drums (I even painted them gloss black), wheel cylinders, etc. I also finished installing the lights. I wasn't a fan of the clear taillight lenses but, I found a good deal locally on a set for only $10 so I figured I'd see how they look with my LED tail/brake lights. THEY LOOK AWESOME!!! I haven't turned the truck over since I broke the cam in back around November of 2008. I have the wiring almost finished so I had to test the ignition today, so I turned it over again. Talk about motivation... it started right up no hesitation...WOW!!!! It sounds sooo good!!! I'll post some pictures shortly.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
Ok, here's a few pictures I just took. I have not installed the tailgate panel yet. The tail light picture is just the tail light (not brake) and reverse light. The fuel line had to be ran on top of the frame due to my exhaust being ran inside the frame. I had ordered a vintage air kit with servo controls. MEKDAD was able to take an idea I had and make it happen with the A/C control panel. If you look behind the motor down low there are two bulkhead with braided lines connected to them. One is going to be connected to the top of the intake the other to the right side of the tranny near the dipstick. All of my wiring to the engine and starter are ran through the lines. Its a work in progress but coming together.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
Heck I didn't have the time nor the patience to do the wiring. I got to watch and lend a helping hand here and there but a friend of mine that works at a local Chevy dealer did the work. We were up late last night and he has a little more to do and he'll be finished. I've pretty much decided not to put the one piece windows in. I'm tired of trying to line them up. I think I'm just going to get some vents and go with the stock look.
