Re: Got a new toy coming home next week guys :D

well been working on the steering column so more. Since i plan on using the AAW ignition switch I took all that kjunk off the factory column and I am using the key and a steering wheel lock mechanism only at this time. I am working on the firewall seal right now using an old 73-87 truck rubber seal and playing with it to see ifn I can make it work on the external firewall hole. the turn signal lever is doen with a few pieces of scrap from huney do projects. Since I was not able to reuse the bright light awitch and wiper switch assembly on the column. Pretty happy with thing to date. Next up withh be doing a similar mod like I did to my ididit column to hel keep it from rotating in the bracket inside the truck.
Thinking about the vortec head idea great idea but gonna rebuild the 283 heads with new hardened valve seats and save some money on manifold and whatever else needed for a vortec swap.
Heading down to all american classics in vancouver wa 1st of march when I go to pick up the nv4500 2wd transmission from lkq and check out that junkyard and see what all he has laying around .
