Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane

What are the deminsions of the firewall cover on you fuse block wires? What’s it made out of? How’s it attached if you don’t mind sharing. Very nice

I'll have to pull some measurements the next time I am over at the shop. I just took a piece of sheet metal and cut it out, broke the corners, welded it up, and painted it. For the mounting I took two long skinny bolts and welded them to the inside edge, drilled two holes in my firewall and ran a nut on the studs from the drivers side of the firewall. I have another picture of the cover I'll post, it's a little easier to see the shape

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane

This was my first take, I didn’t like how boxy it was so I ended up stepping the corners.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane

Awesome idea. Did you use a metal brake, or just hammer it out? Thanks for sharing your info.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane

What a difference. The big eye sore improvement is the gutter wiring no longer there. Never did like how the factory did that. So do you still have to run heater hoses or is that like a delete?
