I saw this pic at the beginning of your thread, I have rear slider window but missing the middle aluminum pieces. Would you mind selling the aluminum pieces that is shown in the pic?


I will be happy if so.

Thank you,

today I finished up the wiring, e-fans, brake switch, and ran the stock harness for the front lights inside the fender.... still waiting on the water pump to show up, then I'll install it, and the upper hose, as soon as I find one that fits....also need to get a conversion u-joint for the driveshaft, and then I can mock it up to see if it needs to be cut.... and I need to do something for the colum shift or go to a floor shifter,...not sure yet...that's about it.....oh yeah, and put the mufflers on....

Man you are making me feel bad b/c you are moving so fast on stuff that took me forever to do!! lol

I had to use a generic flexible water hose from Napa for my set-up to clear everything, just fyi.

the bags were roughly $100 a piece, and I made the mounts out of some scrap 1/4" plate......

[mooseknuckles]

some pics of the x-over and mufflers....I started it tonight with the mufflers on....sounds awesome!!...

[mooseknuckles]

I got a chance today to work on the truck, so I managed to get the u-joint installed in the drive shaft, and tried the driveshaft in the truck for a test fit..I thought I was going to have to cut it from what I've heard about the 4l80e being longer that the 700r4, but the driveshaft fit as perfectly as it did before!....

[mooseknuckles]

...also the water pump finally came in the mail today!!

[mooseknuckles]

....installed the water pump today....I think I found a upper rad hose that will work, should be in tomorrow....also the belt is close to the upper outlet,s o I picked up a smaller diameter idler pulley to give it some more room....
