Charlie you should be ok. Its just a connector that wont be on your harness on the bady side. So you will have a spot on the column connector that has nothing plugged into it.

Lookin Good,

Sarge

palposity · 10-26-2010, 08:03 PM

Thanks Dennis and Sarge. I'm sure the column swap will go well.

palposity · 10-26-2010, 08:04 PM

Picked up my brand new custom built drive shaft today!

Fit like a glove!

glimmertwin01 · 10-26-2010, 08:35 PM

palposity · 10-28-2010, 09:25 AM

Making an ambitious goal for assembly. I'm going to be working on the truck tonight and most of the day Saturday. By the end of day Saturday I hope to have the following done (keep in mind I usually set pretty aggressive goals for myself):

1. Steering column swapped out for the new tilt column. -- Canceled - went with stock column.
2. Install Exhaust Manifolds -- DONE
3. Engine accessories installed -- DONE
4. Core support and radiator installed -- DONE
5. Torque converter bolted to flywheel, install starter, and lower bell housing installed. -- DONE
6. Transmission cooler lines installed -- DONE
7. Plug holes I had to cut in cab floor to access square nuts that were spinning in place on cab mounts bolts. -- DONE
8. Paint and install shift linkage - DONE
9. begin wiring -- DONE

palposity · 10-31-2010, 06:48 AM

Well I didn't get as much done as I would have liked yesterday. The pic with all the hydraulic lines is my pump and valve unit assembley for my snow plow. Lots of wires everywhere too as we started the electrical work. She is coming together now, but it sure is a messy phase

I updated my list in the previous post with what was done and not done.

*Stitch* · 10-31-2010, 03:48 PM

Looking good Charlie. Real good buddy

Sarge261 · 10-31-2010, 07:31 PM

Charlie,

Are you getting to the point where your gonna need that tank out of my 87. I havent gotten to getting that truck apart yetand I dont want to hold you up if your close.

I'll also get that picture for you tomarrow of the 208 connector.

Sarge

palposity · 10-31-2010, 07:38 PM

Thanks guys!

Sarge - I am going to use your tank on my Pops project. I won't be rolling on that project until spring time. Plenty of time on the tank. I could use the NP208 sensor as soon as you can though. Thank you sir!

Sarge

palposity · 11-02-2010, 09:40 AM

Hey Sarge,

Any luck on that sensor? Thanks for your help!

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-02-2010, 02:48 PM

Nice progress on the truck! I'm sure you want to get it done soon because the season of the white crap is just around the corner.
