Cool!

Im going to fix my fence and get house going so not much crew time this weekend.. but i did get a new starter for it, thinking about trying to get the bigger fuel tank in it instead of the smaller one since i have to move the brackets anyways.

joe231 · 04-03-2010, 11:37 AM

Cool....
What about the green one?
Get it on the road yet?

Here is what I have for inspiration on my iPhone wallpaper

scotts62 · 04-03-2010, 01:17 PM

No put the rotors back on it and it should be ready.

That wallpaper is awesome!!!

*highperf4x4* · 04-03-2010, 11:08 PM

So will the truck be an A/C truck when you get done?

joe231 · 04-03-2010, 11:19 PM

Yeah,
I'm using all the stuff from the '89 parts burb.

scotts62 · 04-04-2010, 10:09 AM

OJOE · 04-04-2010, 07:52 PM

man, looks good! you have been working. good luck. joe

joe231 · 04-04-2010, 10:13 PM

Thanks OJOE.

I didn't get any pics cause it got dark on me, but I was able to get some stuff done today.
I got the fire wall patched, sealed, and primed. My son got all the stuff off of the front of the engine in preparation for the intake, water pump, and serp swap. The wife and I scrubbed out the interior and i sanded and primed some rust spots on the floors. And i took the outer A/C box apart and cleaned the coil and resealed the box. I need to put some paint on the floors and firewall then I can start re-assembly. I also need to find me an EFI gas tank..... I have class tomorrow evening, so it will probably be Tuesday evening before I can continue on it, and post pics

.

scotts62 · 04-05-2010, 08:13 AM

Sweet!! You have enough Argon to finish it all up? What kinda gas tank you need? I think im going to try and use the big tank out of the crew since i have to move the brackets anyways.

JohnC · 04-05-2010, 08:27 AM

Sounds like you're working away at it man. Keep it up.

menace121978 · 04-05-2010, 07:40 PM

sorry so late Joe! but here it is... let me know if you'll use it and i can have it out by thursday.

Hell yeah!
Thanks Dennis!
I'll pm you my info.
Do you know if it will work on either side saddle tank?

menace121978 · 04-05-2010, 08:02 PM

damn... after all that! i thought you were needing the blazer/burb tank sending unit

joe231 · 04-05-2010, 09:23 PM

Oh
sorry for the misunderstanding....
Guess one of us was confused

I have a burb tank, sender, and pump that I don't think I'm gonna use. I know the tank is too big.
Are the blazer senders/pumps the same? Guess I could pick up a blazer tank if so.

menace121978 · 04-05-2010, 10:22 PM

man i'm always confused about something. duh... well, i do know the sending unit i have is from a blaze. 'if' there was a difference, it would be a difference in length. if the burb's tank is deeper than a blazer then they are different.

scotts62 · 04-09-2010, 11:06 PM

Is the fire wall in and you ready to wire it all up yet??

Yes it is ready.....I'll take some pics today as I get some work done

*BGRAFX* · 04-11-2010, 03:40 PM

Oh, and my wife has decided to nick-name this truck "Big Sexy"

Thanks for looking and I wil try to get more/better pics up soon

I think Michael's "quoter' is broken.

joe231 · 04-12-2010, 07:03 PM

joe231 · 04-12-2010, 10:36 PM

I didn't get a lot done over the weekend.....
but I did manage to finish up my firewall repair, get all of the cab wiring mostly in. I had a hell of a time fishing the passenger rear dome light switch wire in

there weren't any switches for the dome on the back doors, just plugs in the holes. Guess it must have been a plain jane or bonus cab in it's previous life....well, not any more

I'm having a bit of an issue with the suburban overhead console, the bracket just doesn't quite fit right. I'm probably going to modify the bracket.
well anyway, here are a few pics......

Oh and the dumbass behind the keyboard here threw away a perfectly good crew headliner board months ago before he got this truck.....anyone know of a place to get one? I know Captkaos was talking about making them awhile back.......If I could get my hands on one, there is a place in the city that could make some out of ABS

Driveway Dreams · 04-12-2010, 11:29 PM

Joe, looks to be coming along well. Good job man!

I can't wait to drive it, but it's going to be about another month before that happens.

Driveway Dreams · 04-12-2010, 11:41 PM

I am so glad to see you and I fall in the same schedule...."the mid tempo group". There is the fast group like Bob, Dennis, etc. Then there is the slow group like, well, John.
