In October, I finally got the truck back in my garage where it belongs. I had stored it out at my Mom and Dad’s farm for the past few years. I put a fresh battery, fuel and a set of points in it and it fired right up.
Over the Thanksgiving long weekend my father-in-law and I tore it apart and installed the Camaro clip. I drove the truck into the garage and immediately started tearing it apart.
Notice the fuse box on the firewall? This was my version of wiring the first time around. I had cut a fuse block out of a truck at a wrecking yard and spiced all the wires into it years ago. The wiring was a mess of original wiring and a mix of what-ever color the closest roll of wire happened to be on my workbench. All of this mess will be replaced with a proper aftermarket wiring harness this time.
This was a running and driving truck just 2 days before.
Getting ready to test fit the clip.
Test fitting a fender to see how the new stance will look.
Here’s a comparison pic from a few years back. Notice two things:
- The difference in stance with the stock suspension vs the camaro clip.
- What happens when you leave primer out in the sun over a number of years. It has completely chalked out.
