Joe if you would have left the holes it would warm you up in the winter.

the only thing i fixed last night was the dash. The PO hacked out the dash and riveted in a piece from an older truck to put the wipers on the dash.

it was sitting at a custom metal place, so I guess he made the grill himself.

ruffrida2005 · 04-01-2010, 06:35 PM

Sweet!
Thanks man!

joe231 · 04-02-2010, 11:18 PM

Worked on the firewall a bit tonight....

Cut out the spare firewall.

Cut out the crew firewall.

Test fit.

View from the inside.

Got a couple little spots to fill in by the heater core holes.
That's as far as I got tonight, I still need to do some clean up before I weld it up. I chose to lap weld it, I figured a butt weld would be a pain in the butt

Hopefully I'll get it welded tomorrow and then I will be able to start putting the truck back together.....

*highperf4x4* · 04-03-2010, 03:59 AM

Looks good to me. Why do you suppose they hacked it in the first place?

scotts62 · 04-03-2010, 10:07 AM

Sweet! So after you fix the fire wall you can start running the new harness?

thanks,
it was a non A/C cab that they added A/C to. It would have been fine as it was, and no one would have seen it....but I would have known and it would have bugged me.

yep, hopefully I'll have the new harness in today. I need to go pick up an intake gasket and water pump gaskets so I can get the TBI and serp set up on.

scotts62 · 04-03-2010, 11:27 AM

Cool!

Im going to fix my fence and get house going so not much crew time this weekend.. but i did get a new starter for it, thinking about trying to get the bigger fuel tank in it instead of the smaller one since i have to move the brackets anyways.

joe231 · 04-03-2010, 11:37 AM

Cool....
What about the green one?
Get it on the road yet?

Here is what I have for inspiration on my iPhone wallpaper

scotts62 · 04-03-2010, 01:17 PM

No put the rotors back on it and it should be ready.

That wallpaper is awesome!!!

*highperf4x4* · 04-03-2010, 11:08 PM

So will the truck be an A/C truck when you get done?

joe231 · 04-03-2010, 11:19 PM

Yeah,
I'm using all the stuff from the '89 parts burb.

scotts62 · 04-04-2010, 10:09 AM

OJOE · 04-04-2010, 07:52 PM

man, looks good! you have been working. good luck. joe

joe231 · 04-04-2010, 10:13 PM

Thanks OJOE.

I didn't get any pics cause it got dark on me, but I was able to get some stuff done today.
I got the fire wall patched, sealed, and primed. My son got all the stuff off of the front of the engine in preparation for the intake, water pump, and serp swap. The wife and I scrubbed out the interior and i sanded and primed some rust spots on the floors. And i took the outer A/C box apart and cleaned the coil and resealed the box. I need to put some paint on the floors and firewall then I can start re-assembly. I also need to find me an EFI gas tank..... I have class tomorrow evening, so it will probably be Tuesday evening before I can continue on it, and post pics

.

scotts62 · 04-05-2010, 08:13 AM

Sweet!! You have enough Argon to finish it all up? What kinda gas tank you need? I think im going to try and use the big tank out of the crew since i have to move the brackets anyways.
