whipped up a firewall block off plate today .

made it to bolt on since I don't have a clean a/c unit to install. and for now if I need heat I will install the summit unit for under 200 bucks .

but here is the basics of my plate.

few bead rolls to stiffin up the plate and give it some good looks .

also welded on the little bolts to the plate.

it will be getting a gasket around the unit before install.

still got more to do for prep work on the rest before color .

then the sun on it side .

inside of the box we didn't do cause I will be getting it line-x or rhino lined .

well still going slowly but surly .

we didn't like the first round of paint on the box . wasn't the paint it was tiny stuff under it . 1 more block sanding would of got it if we could of redone it . so we wet sanded the whole box down and reshot it . now its a lot better .

then we shot the inside of the box and turned the psi of the gun down just over 1/2 and textured the bed floor to help make it look cleaner and cover up all the paint chips from the box's former work truck life it had .

cab was finished and full sprayed . fenders and doors back sides sprayed also .

now to get ready for assembly and get the hood/ front side of doors - fenders / t-gate / grill filler panel / wipe cowl panel / few other little ods n ends done .

then when all done and gapped and ready will tape off and wet sand / block out the area's to be sprayed white for the 2 tone .

zombie thread back from the dead ...

she has a lot of dust on her from long term storage but the last project is now running and driving so i had to free up a parking spot for it and now this one is back in the center of the shop and about to get some long deserved attention . other things such as life and work have also played a delay factor in its completion .

looking to buy a LS swap harness for the 5.3 and 4l60-e combo and just make it bolt and go faster . who has a good kit these days and also need my computer flashed .

thanks for any tips and places to use or avoid . cant wait to be done with it .

I have a Speartech harness and reallly like them. They are always there for questions and have a stellar rep. PSI have a great rep too. I believe PSI is a little cheaper in costs. I wouldn’t hesitate on either vendor.

im sure others will post opinions of their favorite supplier

sweetk30

so yes i am back AGAIN ...........

it time to get her done .

getting ready to buy a whole truck setup from american autowire and also a howell efi kit for the 5.3/4L60-e setup .

already have the pcm flashed from a solid local tunner guy for well over 10 years . did 1:1 throttle for the DBW and turned fans on / did gear ratio & tire size / turn off vats and emissions . . .

if anyone has info / feedback on the brands please let me know before i pull the trigger on prob Tuesday . .
