Mike I was told if you take pictures sideways and post them they will be straight. Haha if that makes sense.

[MMcMasters]

Sigh

I went to the FAQ section and searched hosting pics via the gallery on this site. When I try to upload a picture it says file exceeds size limitations or something toile that.

Maybe it's because I'm doing it from my phone. This is dumb

If you are using your iPhone or other Apple device as your camera, the following link will explain the issue.

This is one of my pet peeves. Almost all people hold their phone incorrectly when taking pictures. Think of you phone as an HDTV when taking a picture. Would you watch your TV with it siting on it's side? Of course not. That's exactly the picture you get when holding your phone in the 'normal' way - a tall skinny photo. Hold your phone sideways, just like your TV looks and you will never have the problem of sideways photos again. Beside that you get much better photos.

Thank you very much for the link. That explains my problem exactly. I will take pics the right way from now on.

My question is I have 100 plus pictures of my build process in my phone that were taken the "wrong" way. Will that camera + app fix my existing pictures that I took the wrong way? Or is there a way to rotate the existing bad photos once I have downloaded them to my reply screen?

Thanks everyone.

Oh yeah one more photobucket complaint. I tried for an hour to download pictures from my account to my computer and photobucket kept giving me an error that "something occurred and download failed".

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. I tried downloading today from PhotoBucket and got the same message.

For some reason I can still use the link for photo and I have the free account. I suspect PhotoBucket will soon find out about it and take it away.

Okay yes, holding your phone with the volume button down makes your photos correct, I take all pics that way now, just formed a habit. I use snapseed if I need to edit or post a pic I took the old way with phone upright. You do not even have to do an edit, just load it to snapseed and post it from there. Not sure if it is available on I-phone or not but I believe it is

[cericd]

Rufas, not only that but some folks hold their phone horizontally but with the volume buttons on the top (which can be pressed to snap the pic) but it results in an upside down photo. Unfortunately it doesn't look upside down on the phone or iPad (I even think windows 10 makes the pic appear right side up) but when it is uploaded to a vbulletin forum it is upside down. So, if you want your pics right side up, according to vbulletin, there is only one correct way to hold the phone when taking photos. Horizontally with the circular home button to the RIGHT. Do that and everything works fine. That information should be plastered on the home page of EVERY vbulletin forum. I can't tell you how many threads are out there with useless sideways photos because of this issue.

Hey Mike, I don't know anything about the app mentioned on that page I linked too, I just use that link because it explains the source of the issue so well. I use my PC to correct the rotation issues so I can't tell you how to correct the problem without transferring the pics from your phone first (if that's where they currently are.) Do you use a PC and if so, what version of Windows do you use i.e. 7, 8, 10 etc.?

[cericd]

This seems to be a good solution if you have lots of pics to correct.

The way I do it is basically one file at a time since I learned about holding the phone a certain way early on in my iPhone photo taking experience.
If I had a lot to do I would look into the software I listed above.

I pulled a vacuum on the cooling system tonight to check for leaks and there were none. I pulled 26hg and it didn't budge after 30 minutes. Hooked up my siphon and used the vacuum to pull the coolant in and give me an air bubble free cooling system.

The truck is 98% wired. The only things left are the rear tail lights, back up lights and license plate light. They will get wired when the bed sides go on. I finished calibrating the vintage air controls, calibrated the Dakota Digital gauges and topped off all the fluids. Tomorrow night I'm going over everything with a fine tooth comb and Saturday morning this turd is getting fired for the first time.

[Jason7121]

That's great news Mike I'm sure it will fire right up.

Thanks Jason. I'm confident it will. It seems like forever since I have been on here but I have been working. I have worked so hard to keep the wiring clean and hidden and it has taken me longer then it should have. I added so many systems that these old trucks never had and there isn't much room to begin with. I'm very happy with the end result.

I have been building engines for 30 years and I still get nervous for the first fire up and I don't know why I'm pretty stoked for Saturday. I'm coming up on a year since I started this build, it's time to get it on the road. Wish me luck fellas, I'll have my son take a video of the first light off

That's awesome Mike! How'd the bed "shrinkage" turn out?

They turned out nice. I will try to post some pics. Sometimes they post sideways, I apologize in advance if they do.

[MMcMasters]

Here are a few pics

[MMcMasters]

Here are the gauges lit up.

[MMcMasters]

When I open the hood I did not want to see any wiring. I ran all of the front light harness, fan wiring and the trinary switch on the outside of the core support. It disappears with the grill in place. I know it's there and it's still hard to see when everything is in place.

[projectking]

Wow, he did a great job on the bedsides!

Looks great, I always like seeing detail pics of the wiring, wiring is something I have always enjoyed doing and making clean.

That pic on the hoist really looks good too.

[Jason7121]

I know what you mean about finding room for the wiring. I added cruise, ac, power windows, power locks , stereo system, and push button start with alarm system. So many extra wires under the dash to tuck up haha.

Coming right along- looking forward to the video!
