Re: my 84 build

Re: my 84 build
 

you're not using the wire looms pictured above?

Nice looking truck very clean.

Re: my 84 build
 

Very nice work. I like the colors. Nice engine bay too!

Re: my 84 build
 

thanx you guys! the shop i took it to took them off when they tuned my motor so the pic wth the accel yellow wires how it looks now...i guess they tossed them :!

Re: my 84 build
 

red wire looks like a amp wire

Re: my 84 build
 

im also running full 3" flowmasters exiting before my wheels on eached side...hopefully have pics an a vid of my truck tomorrow!!

Re: my 84 build
 

yep...you are correct!!!

Re: my 84 build
 

ok you lost me on that quoting me.

If they ditched my wire looms they'd be buying me some back them things aint free or dirt cheap. I'd personally take it back and make them use the wire looms I had on it.

when I say wire looms I mean the wire holders that bolt to the valve covers or whatever, not the loom that covers wires, like the black plastic stuff.

Re: my 84 build
 

I was referring to the red wire in the pic. This is auto amp wire. No need for a loom. Plug Wire Seperator is what your thaking about? and its called a wire loom to so it a Internet malfunction :lol:i guess yep take it back and make them use the wire looms I had on it.

Re: my 84 build
 

yea seperators, looms whatever lol. I have a set of ball milled ones that are now on dad's 84. What you got works but I think the bolt on seperators work really well and keep things nice and neat.

Re: my 84 build
 

me to

Re: my 84 build
 

i was gona go back an see what happend....but never got around to doing it..i guess i was just happy that she was runing right cause i had so many problems with her....

Re: my 84 build

Re: my 84 build

Re: my 84 build
 

That truck is SLICK...!
Youre not far away... PM me if youre interested in painting mine!
(one color, original maroon!)
Also if you decide to get rid of those stock wheels and tires... :)

Re: my 84 build
 

thanx 4 the comment.....i would have to talk to the "man" about the paint and the wheels i think ima keep them till i get my eagle alloys..

Re: my 84 build
 

here are the pics of the blazer tailgate band....:metal:

Re: my 84 build
 

how did you mount it?

Re: my 84 build
 

i had to take the truck band apart and bend the edges back all the way around so i could take the back off the band, then i took the blazer band an did the same.....then i had to trim the truck piece before i put it in blazer band..after that was done i put it in then folded the edges back down....i see if i can get pics up tomorrow so ya'll can see.

Re: my 84 build
 

how do u open the gate?

Re: my 84 build
 

i dont.....some how everytime i opened my tailgate it hit my back bumper....im thinking about geting a handle relocator.

Re: my 84 build
 

may be a tailgate handle relocater
