Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
No leaks is a great thing... Sounds like you're making great progress.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
Thanks Mike, I was going to ask you if you had a good charcoal canister. I put some fuel in my tank but the fuel wanted to build up in the neck. I didn't have an open line for a vent. I thought I would mount a canister near the rear for something for it to vent into. I put a line on and its just there. Lmk if you have one.. I just threw one out a couple weeks ago.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
A heavy box came today. I have to get somebody that knows what they're doing to set it up for me. I want it right the first time. I'm clueless.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
I'm right there with you. Wish I knew how to build a posi... Need it for both my vehicles. Parts look nice though. What did you get? Looks like ring and pinion, new bearings, and a posi unit. Is that it?

Thanks I don't feel comfortable with my lack of tools and skills to set it up right. I'll leave it to the professionals.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
I got the last wire ran and the carpet in. I also put the bottom portion of the console in and the wires ran through. I put the pigtail for the stereo on to. I don't know if I said this or not but I got another head unit. A pioneer with bluetooth and iPad/iphone compatible. A bunch of other features that I'm clueless about lol. I mounted the mic for the bluetooth on the A pillar.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
Yes I am. I've had a lot of family time lately and the truck has been going slow but I'm not complaining. Having good times.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
Thanks, the frustration continues..The new Pioneer head unit won't power up. I'll take it back tomorrow. I have two other projects lined up but I need to do some remodeling on the house after I get this truck done.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
Well after trading the stereo out at Best Buy I took the wife out for dinner. When we got home I did manage to put the new one in and get it going. Then I finished putting the console together. I need to touch up a spot and it'll be done.
The stereo does sound good too.
