Wow, lookin good! I love the original color combo... she is coming along though. Nice job on the air management clean up. I hate when people just shove it all under the bad half ass... especially when its something that is vital to reliability and drivability. This thing is gonna be sick!

Started the wiring on it, the previous owner/builder had a cluster-F and rats nest of wiring so we are using the American Autowire to rewire the whole truck and using a BP Automotive standalone harness for the drivetrain.

At this point it seems like you should have just bought a cheap truck since you've rebuilt pretty much the whole thing! Looking great so far.

Yeah, looking back I agree. At the time i trusted it was a solid truck since I bough it from a "Reputable builder" here in Texas. Hindsight is 20/20.

I have had that happen to me before as well.... remember the advice: "if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself". Its tough to find an unhacked OBS these days. I have been looking for 6 months now. Regardless, your truck is dope as hell!

I've seen multiple super clean, low mileage OBS trucks sell recently across IG. It's hard to find a CHEAP unhacked OBS. You're going to have to be lucky or pay for an unmolested version.

Engine bay coming together. Slosh Tubz installed, needed to trim the passenger side a bit for the Sanden A/C Compressor. Now they are Cleaning up the core support and making the new mounts for the new radiator/fan combo.

The transcooler is also installed, waiting on the two relay kits from
BP Automotive to wire up the cooling system.

Thanks for looking. Cheers.
