Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

If you build the house with half the attention that you've put into the truck, which is improbable-I'm sure you're putting full effort, your house will be a showpiece in your neighborhood.
Have fun driving around the neighborhood without a windchill! Are your wipers ready to be installed?

Maiden Voyage. I'm off to the windshield shop. It was a balmy 31 degrees with a 40 mph headwind.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

That's awesome Drew! I drove my 92 F-350 about 10 miles in the dead of winter on a 5 gallon bucket when I started to build it and had to get it to the body shop. That no windshield deal gets cold quick.

We're not all smiles just yet.
I have a whooshing noise coming from my brake booster and no power brakes. Did I mess it up?
Muffler was contacting a cross strut and vibrating. (fixed that this afternoon)
Tow haul light comes on by itself and the tranny starts holding gears longer.

Glass is in and worked out well. $225 for a Precision front weatherstrip, glass, and installation. The best part is - if it leaks, it's their problem.

That's a super deal for the glass. If I could get that deal I'd never mess with windshields again. The seals aren't cheap and I sell used windshields for 75. Plus install and a guarantee.....WOW!

maybe an electrical thing on the tow/haul?
Sounds like a bad seal on the booster/bad booster itself???

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

Sounds like a good deal on the glass.

So you have a few bugs to work out. You knew there would be some things to tweak after the maiden voyage. Keep it up!
