Spent yesterday working on the wiring, getting it ready to be turned over for the first time. Going to work on it again today and snap some more pictures. The remote start alarm, power windows, power locks, fuel pump, I/C pump, misc switches, interior lighting, guages and a/v are all part of the madness that I'm wiring right now. A lot of what I'm doing is just pre wiring because I dont have all of the components that I will be using yet.

I still need to figure what I can UN-wire on mine. That is a big step getting all of that stuff wired up.

on my 88 that i'm building my engine for, i have a set of 17" american racing classic 202s i think they are. Kinda look like the wheels on the 55 chevy in Two Lane Black Top. 17x8 fronts and 17x10 in the rear with polished lip and matte grey centers. they'd look good on your truck too IMO!!!

great build! i can't wait to see more progress!!

Me too! I powered the truck up for the first time last night. All the electrical checked out great and is working as it should. I hooked the scanner up to the ecu and ITS ALIVE! Lol. I'm on par to turn it over once the last few sensors show up and Sarg finishes the welds on the I/C piping. Very soon

I took pictures of everything last night but it was dark and my cell phone camera is ****. They really aren't worth posting.

sorry, havent been able to work on the truck lately so theres not much to update. I'm getting ready to move soon so I've put all major purchases on hold for now.

most of whats being done right now is wiring, ive got my guage panel and a few other goodies that im wiring in when i can.
