And on tonight's episode of As The Wrench Turns, we have a bed that got mounted and a little shot-o-bling.

I got the same advice on mine to.

VA72C10 · 11-02-2011, 12:01 AM

BTW....you're nearing #1 on the views.....231K+ as of tonight!

**67cheby** · 11-02-2011, 09:28 AM

i know it is a little petty thing but with the work you have put in , i think those bolts through the bed floor need to have a round head instead of the hex head to blend in better, maybe a round allen headed bolt ?

I agree completely, but since the bed floor is so rough I am rhino-lining and covering the whole thing up with a rubber mat. Since it has to be covered up anyway, bolt heads don't really matter.

Since I am planning on using the truck, I figured it was insane to spend $1000 on a bed floor and then worry about denting or scratching it. Yes, I hope the truck is magazine worthy, but that is a secondary consideration to my using it everyday.

The fact that you plan to use it is the best part of the build. I hope you get to put as many miles on it as the build has had views!

drewskiren · 11-03-2011, 01:32 AM

Tonight's episode begins with painting the radiator support and new radiator mount satin black. A few more coats tomorrow and it will be ready to assemble.

Then I moved on to the shift linkage. I welded and extension on the shift ear I cut off to clear the brake booster, then assembled the Kugal stainless steel shift linkage. http://www.kugelkomponents.com/zenca...&products_id=6

I very carefully fit and adjusted, then shortened the rod twice so as not to cut too much off at once. The throw is now perfect and I get all gears to click nicely, it even lines up on the column indicator right.

Then I read the wiring diagram and ended up only needing one wire on the right electrical block -green temp sensor wire for gauge. I may want the switched brown wire for something, so I left it for now.

More good progress. Shift linkage looks good as does the rad support!

Are you keeping the mechanical fan or going with an electric set-up? sorry if you already answered this but that chip in the fan blade made me think about it, haha.

Mechanical, because it is free and installed!

drewskiren · 11-03-2011, 04:26 PM

These pics are more fun to look at.

Where do these little square rubber blocks go? They came with my tailgate bumpers kit.

**67cheby** · 11-03-2011, 04:58 PM

SWEET they are bumpers for the tailgate !!
