All finished would be nice. The truck is still in progress. I'm getting the finals details ironed out as far as getting it running. Looks like the brake lines i wanted to order are on backorder. I need to buy some hose clamps and the fuel system is done. I have to buy about 2 feet of ground wire and wire up the battery to starter and ground. Then i will have to figure out the radiator holes, i should take pics and post them up; then radiator hoses and get another fitting for the trans cooler and it should be good to run. Anyone know how big of a trans cooler i should have for a 700R4 paired to a TBI chevy 350?

Glad to hear it's getting closer. I'm looking forward to seeing some more pics.

Im ordering a fuse block tonight to wire the fan to then come brake lines, a driveshaft and she should be running and driving!!

55dude · 08-19-2009, 01:36 AM

cool! we might be watching that "burnout" video soon.

kulturekat · 08-19-2009, 10:30 AM

the seats are out of a chevy equinox and has mentioned a few times they are heated and driver side is powered.

what i want to know is where he ordered the gauges from

suedespade · 01-02-2010, 11:27 AM

has there been any more progress on this build? have I missed something?

49ZR2 · 01-02-2010, 12:30 PM

lrall nice build thread. What kind of gauges did you use? I can't see any mfg marks on them in the pic. Also what brand wiring harness did you purchase for the cab?

Classic Instruments is the brand for the gauges, they seem to be nice quality!! The wiring harness for the cab is 'kwik wire'. My autoshop teacher was a dealer and it is really an awesome kit.

If anyone has any experience with wiring up a Lokar floor shifter into a truck I could use some tips. I am a bit tripped up with that currently. I have the big stuff done but little things like power to the coil and such are holding me back. Its tough because I want it to be so clean and stock looking but I have to add a wire here and there.

55dude · 04-15-2011, 04:31 AM

what are you needing to wire up the neutral safety switch and the lights in shifter for nighttime driving?

jess66chevy · 04-19-2011, 11:29 PM

Doin a damn good job on this truck man!

Lrall · 09-24-2011, 01:34 AM

Back from the dead.....I won't post up pics or vids till its running! I have the truck wired up to run but can't seem to get it to crank. A friend of my grandpas(hotrod wiring guy) is coming to help me clear things up and it *should* be ready to go soon! Then its seats, driveshaft, and brakes!

72shymedblue · 09-24-2011, 02:05 PM

You are inspiring me to work on my truck some more ! Hope to see you on the road soon. Wave back at the guy in the junky black 72 !

55dude · 09-25-2011, 12:22 AM

glad to see you posted young man! can't wait to see what you have been up to with your truck.

Lrall · 09-28-2011, 12:40 PM

I have run into a bit of a problem...still. There is a neutral SAFETY switch and a park/neutral INDICATOR switch. 12v goes through the neutral safety switch(shifter on the floor) when key is turned to crank in park/neutral. No continuity in other gears(correct). My problem comes when the painless TBI harness wants me to wire the orange/black and black/white wire to the park/neutral indicator switch. I had these wires running to the neutral safety switch and that is WRONG. I hope we didn't fry the PCU :s Any hints/help? I am calling painless now.

Lrall · 09-28-2011, 01:45 PM

Painless part # 60122 Park/Neutral Relay is the solution

Will order today and thennnnnnn

Lrall · 10-04-2011, 12:26 AM

The Truck CRANKS!!!!!!!!!!! I do have a question for anyone that may know. I am obviously working on starting the engine. However I don't want to burn up the power steering pump when i start it. Does anyone know if I can loop the power steering lines off the pump? I know one side is high pressure and low pressure. Will the high pressure blow the line off the return or?

Lrall · 10-07-2011, 12:28 AM

I'll keep talking to myself :P The truck was cranking, now I am having an issue with the relay. Relay in, no cranking. Jumper wire, engine cranks. Oil pressure gauge is not working correctly, not sure what the deal is. The truck WAS cranking, but had no injector spray. Going to work with painless and figure out the cranking problem, then the gauge problem. Then the fuel problem. Then i *hope* it starts

**Palf70Step** · 10-07-2011, 05:23 AM

One of these days I'll get to that point on mine. Wish I could give you great words of wisdom, but not sure what to check. Keep trotting along with it, your doing a great job.
