Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Thanks all. Blue Jeep, give me a call for details on the frameless swap. It's really a lot less involved than you think. 760-267-0624.

Lots done on Cecil today. This is the wiring setup for the doors. 5 wires power 3 motors in each door.

This is how I created the fuel filler neck. Started with the original neck and the s10 one. Cit yhem both down and grafted them together, leaving the Patina on the end that is visible outside the truck.

I also solved our speaker issue. These kick panels were advertised as 6.5" speaker opening. When I mocked up the speakers, the opening was only 5.25". I wound up cutting a significant portion of the speaker mount out. Last pic is mocked up in the truck.

Here's the trick to using the newer CS130 alternators on non computer controlled charging systems. That's a 47ohm resistor in-line on the exciter wire.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Killer build! If I didn't live so far away, I'd likely be your next client!
The pictures are worth a 1000 words. I was considering welding in my bear claw latches today, and figured I'd take a look, and stumble across that nice compact heat/ac unit. Who makes it? It doesn't look like the typical Vintage units... Thanks again for the direction. |

Trans tunnel is complete... damned lot of work to get it to fit right and clear everything! Also working on 6x9 speaker enclosures as well.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Uncle Jimi; the heat/ac is an Ebay purchase. I have put several of these in, and they work pretty well. While I think the look is too modern, it is very functional. That unit was about $100.
Thanks R46.

Here's my repair on the tailgate hinge area. The factory captured nut had been ripped completely out of the stake pocket. I welded a 5/16 nut flush. 2nd pic is the finished repair.

Here is the "Stealth latch" installation. First step was to get rid of the crappy plastic knobs and put some billet ones in thier place. Next I drilled/slotted the tailgate according to the instructions. Last 2 are finished.

Here's the tailight brackets I made. I hate how the factory 54 brackets put the light way out in space. I tucked the lights in and dropped them a little lower on the stake pocket. These are 56 led taillights from Classic Parts of America. I like this look much better than the rectangle lights that were original to this truck!

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Skymangs:worked on the quad gauge today, got her all finished up. Central logos did an excellent job on my new gauge face decals. I can always count on them when i need something unusual. Now we are working on finding matte vinyl instead of glossy. They are also going to make a set in my signature color... Olive drab!

Here's the seat, Dona from a 98 Astro Van (second row). Pics are of original base, my cut line, and the finished cuts. They are angled on purpose, the Astro floor changed heights, so the buns are WAY to angled. Solution... bevel cut the bases. Tomorrow I'll be mocking it up, trussing the floor (for additional support), and welding on mounting tabs.
