I got the front of the truck back on,
and burnt up my first starter,
that's the fun stuff I guess

KShortell · 10-21-2003, 09:59 AM

That thing is going to be sweet when you get done with it...!

79BIG10 · 10-21-2003, 05:17 PM

Glad to see you getting it back together. How's the other stuff coming?

Nvbowtie · 10-24-2003, 04:26 AM

I got the wiring in the new yellow loom,
and the firewall holes covered where the
A/C & fan were with diamond plate.

I also figured i did not have enough clearance
(3/4-1.0") with these 265/70R15
so I am going 2" shorter

Got one, had it for 6-months now,

I am waiting to put it on after I get done tinkering with it so I don't scratch or ding it all up.

I am amazed it has not got damaged all the time it has been hanging around in the garage, especialy when I start throwing tools..

No, I will end up sending it out to a shop, my wife would sh!t if I painted it in the garage.

soleeagle · 10-27-2003, 12:09 AM

Looking good.

How hard was it and what did you go threw to remove all the a/c bs? I would like to do it with my truck but if possible I would like to keep the heat and blower.

Not hard, just yanked it out, even the heater and all controls.

I chose not to run A/C that robs HP, and if I could live without A/C I sure could live without a heater living in So. Nevada.
