Thanks guys....Its fun now seeing the truck really coming together.....unfortunately, I've burned threw most of the extra dough I had and I still need a few expensive items....Wiring harness, Vintage Air & front and rear glass....Other than that I pretty much have everything else I need to complete....Trying to figure out how to cash in a small "cash value" insurance policy I have without the lil woman finding out

Thanks Mike....I just bumped it up one size to the 31x10.5x15....I think that is about the max for the 6" wide rim.....Later I may still go to some larger Ralley's and use 32x11.5 like you scored...they are a nice size for stock height!

msgross · 09-15-2009, 01:24 PM

I'm actually using 33x10.5's now, in my profile picture... Those look good though...

0331grunt · 09-15-2009, 01:25 PM

Thanks everyone for the "props"....Some of you are some funny mofo's

Oh.... I have indeed been working on her.....here's proof!

Decided to upgrade to an internally regulated alternator….Picked up a “all new” unit at NAPA for $80….

Got the grille all assembled…she's ready to get installed as soon as I spend a little time getting the body panels aligned better….

Front & Rear Glass all in (with chrome trim).....

Vent windows, side glass & all new felts done & installed….As well as a new Grant steering wheel……

Rack Man · 10-13-2009, 09:54 PM

Started installing the Vintage Air system……

Finally found a nice set of hubcaps….yellow Bowtie but that’s ok……

Got the under-dash wiring in as well the engine wiring all hooked up…Waiting for the front light harness to arrive as they sent me the wrong one the first time….Should be able to drive her before too long

VA72C10 · 10-13-2009, 10:17 PM

Nice progress. Looks great!!!!

1985-GMC · 10-13-2009, 10:31 PM

Looking good!!! I bet you cant wait to drive it!!!

0331grunt · 10-14-2009, 07:20 AM

gcburdic · 10-14-2009, 01:14 PM

Hey Rack....that is looking great!!!....But not sure it'll ever see the mud....it's just way to purty to be muddin' with!!!

msgross · 10-14-2009, 06:29 PM

which wiring harness did you go with?

looks good

I actually took the advice from another board member who has done the conversion 3 or 4 times......and just went with the SI-10 63 amp alternator....He said is was more than enough to handle the normal electrical requirements needed (including AC)...the napa guy agreed.....

Wiring harness wise I went with American Autowire.....M&H was my first choice but they had like an 8-week lead time on a couple of the pieces....Wes from Classic Heartbeat assured me that the AAW harness is just as good......turns out the owner of AAW was the old partner with the guy from M&H....so the harnesses are basically identical!

Here is the NAPA alternator with part number that I used.....

Thanks guys...I really appreciate it....Yea, it may not see much mud but it will for sure make its way to to the lake towing the boat for a few bass tournaments throughout the year

msgross · 10-15-2009, 08:30 AM

thanks, I know a guy at AAW and they seem like a good company... that's about an $800 setup right?

63 amp, hmm... not bad but I might but a small amplifier in mine, I don't have A/C yet.. I think they have some camaro alternators that have a little more amperage, not sure.
