I already have nice bulbs. I saw LMC had some also, I just don't want to get a cheap set.

some updated pictures...

ill start with the oil drain tube. as I posted earlier it was a little too short with the angles it needed to line up properly. I was looking around and noticed a trans dipstick tube is the same diameter.

since I had an old one I cut a piece out and welded it to the drain tube.

I think it came out pretty good. it was tuff to weld since the metal was so thin.

here is the extended dipstick tube. I just used a piece of heavy duty heater hose and the two ends of the steel tube.

I made it come out in the most convenient spot I could think of.

I had to make an extension on the DP. its only 2.5'' pipe so I put on a little bend and an adapter to go to 3''.

I also made the piece of pipe that will be connecting the DP to the rest of the exhaust. it has a smooth flow flex pipe in it also.

does anyone have a wire diagram for a brick and OBS blower motor controls?

I am trying to finalize the control panel swap and so far I got the A/C and blower motor to operate in the right order. the problem is, the HI and LO switch for the blower motor will only put it on high. if I use a wire to jump the terminals I can get 3 out of the 4 speeds to work.

my truck is a 91 and the controls are from a 97. I am assuming the switch operates differently.

I have a Haynes manual that covers both. Let me look and see if I can isolate what you need.

I have one of those books also but forgot the exact name of it. I looked through mine but couldn't find what I wanted.

Here's the headlights I bought. I hadn't made it to the basement yet.

That should do it. The switch will only give me hi and if I use a jumper wire I can get m1, m2 and hi. So I'm not sure why lo won't work.

I ended up getting some lights from flea bay. They were $160 vs close to $300 from most other places.

I think that's about what I paid for these. eBay as well I think.

I'm a bit late on the light question, but I took a shot and got the cheapest pair off ebay that also came with bulbs (pretty good ones too). A year later and they still look new, minus the bug goo. I'll be installing a heavy relay harness next week or so and will post before and after pics. Only problem I've had with them is the passenger side marker light socket is a bit difficult to get lined up, but no biggie.

I finally got the intake mounted and plumbed. I think its in a decent spot and it is all 3.5'' tube so it should have plenty of flow.
