SOOO this is where you have been hiding!! At least you admit to being from Oky, seems like my friends from Oky always say they are from Texas...

Looks great Joe! Looks like you are moving right along instead of taking the 2 year plan like I did..lol... :metal:

And how did it go to Destiny from Big Sexy?

:haha:
thanks for stopping in :metal:

technically I'm not from here....I just live here now, so i guess that makes me an Okie ;) :lol:

your 2 year plan turned out super nice!!

this won't even be close ;)

I call it "Destiny" because I have wanted a square crew forever...it is my destiny

the wife came up with big sexy.......and I couldn't argue

the only thing i fixed last night was the dash. The PO hacked out the dash and riveted in a piece from an older truck to put the wipers on the dash.

it was sitting at a custom metal place, so I guess he made the grill himself.

Re: My Crew Cab Short Bed Project, AKA "Project Destiny"

Worked on the firewall a bit tonight....

Cut out the spare firewall.

http://i805.photobucket.com/albums/y...1/aed13570.jpg

Cut out the crew firewall.

http://i805.photobucket.com/albums/y...1/ae1041cd.jpg

Test fit.

http://i805.photobucket.com/albums/y...1/c829948c.jpg

View from the inside.

http://i805.photobucket.com/albums/y...1/e71324f6.jpg

Got a couple little spots to fill in by the heater core holes.
That's as far as I got tonight, I still need to do some clean up before I weld it up. I chose to lap weld it, I figured a butt weld would be a pain in the butt ;)
Hopefully I'll get it welded tomorrow and then I will be able to start putting the truck back together.....

Looks good to me. Why do you suppose they hacked it in the first place?

scotts62 04-03-2010 10:07 AM

Re: My Crew Cab Short Bed Project, AKA "Project Destiny"
 
Sweet! So after you fix the fire wall you can start running the new harness?

thanks,
it was a non A/C cab that they added A/C to. It would have been fine as it was, and no one would have seen it....but I would have known and it would have bugged me. ;)

yep, hopefully I'll have the new harness in today. I need to go pick up an intake gasket and water pump gaskets so I can get the TBI and serp set up on. :)
