Quick update, my truck is now at a local shop called Issyfab. The shop is run by a buddy of mine (he made the frame probably mentioned) and he's a real stickler when it comes to wiring and plumbing.
So far the chassis harness is done, a kill switch has been added, footwell lighting, dome light (factory one) Electric wipers and provisions for a stereo.
He's also added some hardlines and made an intake. Yes the intake doesn't exit the engine bay, no I am not worried about heat soak robbing power (cruiser not drag car).
We're waiting on a harness and I have to get a few more dollars together but it should run in the not so distance future
In the meantime, I've been toiling away with metal work on the bed. I'll have some pictures of that soon.
