Must be nice. I'm preparing for a VERY long weekend next weekend. It may start on Wednesday. [emoji6]

 

[IDIoit]

yesterday did not go as planned.
had a new member come over to get his truck timed.
in the midst of that and having a few beers, we got it timed, and checked out my new meters which all were within tenths of eachother...
after lunch, a few friends stopped by to help me finish said 12 pack.
also polished off the rest of the beer i already had.
by then mama came home and was feeling like dodo...
so i was able to wash the truck, headed over to the sand blasters to find my parts not finished,
so i spent the rest of the day/night playing with the twins...
hopefully today will be more productive.

Sounds pretty productive to me. [emoji6]

Its hard work to eliminate a household beer infestation. You just have to focus and take it one beer at a time and eventually you will get them all

Lol ha

The beverage reduction team...

Sounds like was productive just different than originally planned.

Time w twins gooder

cab wiring is in process.
id like to get most of the cab back together today, minus the front seat.
still have to pull dash to re-wire.

 

[IDIoit]

today was pretty productive.
got the cab wiring completed.
stereo system installed
i used the carpet out of the 96.
it needs to be cleaned, but its good for now.
the back half of the house carpet i used previously.

dash is stripped of all wiring.
tried to install the new fuse block, but it clearly needs some work.

Anthony, my oldest, helped me all day on her.
he also painted his lifter cover, and valve cover on his 61.

time to do some wiring while i wait for my brake parts.



had to modify the " C&B" pillars for the door jam switch.

Looks great IDIoit! I never thought it would look so cool, when I first saw it 3 or 4 months ago.

its certainly getting there!
it would be nice if we could fire this thing up at the get together!
but im not rushing it.
wiring, brakes, fuel, today was a huge step, now my interior isnt sitting outside

I would've done captain's chairs for the first two rows and a bench in the back. Imagine how much more twisted up the looks on folks faces when they see the truck and then watch you walk from the driver's seat all the way to the back

found my vacuum and electrical manual!
gutted the old dash harness, got the pig tails of everything i need.
and deleted ALOT
the wiring should go pretty quick now.
HVAC was my biggest hang up, but it turns out that its a 5 wire hook up!
main power ac/heat power2 grounds and a illum!
the biggest task..... where to install the fuse panel...
it will not fit in stock location without alot of plastic cutting.

If it's a option, Mount it underhood and build a box for it.

You need the electric climate control swap. Lol I plan to do it one day.. in the next 20 years....
