AHA! They probably keep the straps from rattling.

7dee2 · 11-03-2011, 05:54 PM

Wow, I love this project!

I miss my 99 Crew Cab Dually terribly. Great idea's with cab configuration, drive train choice's and even the new factory style wheels. Surely magazine material and reliable daily driver.

Subscribing!

noonzor · 11-03-2011, 06:23 PM

still cant believe how fast your moving on this project, makes me feel like a slacker!! excellent work!!

VA72C10 · 11-03-2011, 06:54 PM

Looking absolutely GREAT!!!

**oldman3** · 11-03-2011, 07:09 PM

Great job Drew, looking better each update...JIm

BluTrukker · 11-04-2011, 08:36 AM

WOW! Took me a whole week to get through the entire thread. You do top notch work! I have kicked around the idea of doing something similar. So now I have a step by step guide! I know its a little premature, but I was wondering if you have kept track of total cost? It would be interesting to compare the differance between the cost of buying a new truck, and what you have done. Again, Awesome work!

drewskiren · 11-05-2011, 01:20 AM

Got to have a go pedal!

Call me a weirdie, but being a pack-rat comes in handy when you need to blend vehicles together. I cut the tip of the new pedal off and welded it to the old pedal rod since it had the perfect end hole to mate up with the new truck throttle linkage. Now the rod end and cable are back together once again.

Clean up and paint.

VA72C10 · 11-05-2011, 02:59 AM

Love how you're blending the old and the new! Nice work!

TRUE Inspiration for what I'd Like MY truck to look like

drewskiren · 11-06-2011, 12:14 AM

Boring report for tonight. I installed my steering shaft fully tonight only to find it isn't straight, and that matters. So I started remaking it from another extra part I had squirreled away. I am going to take it to my race car fabricator's shop to let them make it perfectly straight for me.

I put both fenders back on for the last time I think.

Air ride is all fixed now too, so check that off the list.

VA72C10 · 11-06-2011, 12:18 AM

Looks like the fenders are getting ready for paint???

So, does that mean you did it tonight?

No tricks tonight.

Wait, when have I ever tricked y'all?

So when we read about your truck in a magazine it will say the only thing not done in-house by Drew himself was custom building the steering shaft...

Good call though, steering is safety.

Unbelievable work, Drew! Simply awesome!

This is kind of funny. Check out the 3 posts above, I posted at 1:33 AM and the the next 2 posts listed after mine were clocked in before mine!!

UUUUU AAAHHHHH!! You are getting close..

drewskiren · 11-07-2011, 02:01 AM

You may want to take any small children or the elderly out of the room before viewing these next photos.

I have everything plugged together, including the door harnesses and roof/mirror/cargo light harness. I wanted to have everything plugged together and get the monster running before I started eliminating anything. On the inside I am ready to turn the key.

Need to finish up the outside and fill with fluids.

VA72C10 · 11-07-2011, 02:38 AM

The spaghetti is looking more and more manageable...

1985-GMC · 11-07-2011, 03:08 AM

I think the wiring still calls for a "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH", but its looking good!

danelmer · 11-07-2011, 09:12 AM

jeez dude you get all the credit in the world for this one. awesome truck and great job on it

mcbassin · 11-07-2011, 09:44 AM

You are making some great progress Drew. And the wiring looks manageable to me.
