time to put the AC box/compressor/condenser back in. regular viewers will remember that I pulled it all together to save the charge. but I need to trim off the blower before I can bolt in back in. I found a better place to chop than the last truck, so I hit it with my miter saw, known for making super straight, fast cuts in plastic.
this is all the dirt and tree debris that was accumulated in there.
wrangling this octopus back in took some doing, image my chagrin (its like a wry smile version of the joedoh rule) when the pcm didnt fit (note the empty spot under the ac box)
so back out it all came and some liberal tapping was applied to the inner fender.
everything fits! I even got some of teh wiring run. this is way easier with the hood off, which it will STAY off till I find one of the TWO packs of hood bolts I bought. george is the ghost in my garage, sometimes he finds things interesting and takes them for a while, once it was a license plate, once a headlight plug, lately its BOTH sets of hood bolts the first set I bought and the second I bought after noticing the first were gone.
more tomorrow. I picked up some 1" angled blocks on craigslist for 10 bucks, thanks Mike! if I get the bumper on I will get the axle swapped and ready for the bed/running boards.
