Re: BP68 Official Build Thread

Finally got a update. Truck had been dropped back at painters in Nov 2012, he had some health issues that put off the project to around March 2013. Ironed out the brake issues and got a little touch up done. Still got a few little touch ups and could really stand to get he inner fenders reshot and polished. But basically got the outside done.
Going to order up some carpet this week, start working on door panels soon, and hopefully get cab roof and back wall wrapped in vinyl and microfiber.

Here are pics from pick up today.

Re: BP68 Official Build Thread

Did a run down the intersate to work on saturday. She did great and felt pretty good at 60 mph.

Got to work and got the heat/sound insulation layer down, topped by some charcoal Essex cut nylon ACC carpet from Rock Auto. Fit pretty good.

Got her cleaned up and then the frustration began. Suddenly I have a real rough idle that seems to smooth out wit a little rpm

Did some digging and found burned up #3 plug wire melted by the headders.

Hope that is all it was.

Projects like this can get frustrating when it seems like 1 step forward 2 steps back. Hopefully plug wire will fix it up and I can start racking up a few miles

here is the carpet
