Yes, putting the stock 86 grill back in it. I like them both but just want to put the stock front back on it for a while. Thanks for all the compliments guys!

It will look sick no matter what grill is on it!

*Stitch* · 07-07-2010, 07:06 AM

Yeah fellas quit trying to talk him outta my grill LOL. Its gonna look great on my crewcab Josh if you wanna keep it just say the word. I think both our trucks will look good with either front end on there. Anyways Josh it's looking real good buddy. When are you planning on putting the cab on there

STOCKISH · 07-07-2010, 07:54 AM

Chuck, the grill is yours. I will see you Sunday for sure. I get paid on Fridays so I am planning to order the body mount kit from LMC and maybe get the cab on it by next weekend? Just depends on there shipping times and when I get the fuel tank harness from BIGCHEVYMAN for the fuel tanks. We'll see. Hopefully soon though, ready to drive this thing.

*Stitch* · 07-07-2010, 08:23 AM

Cool I'm anxious to see it back together. It's gonna look slick. Very factory stock besides the wheels until you pop the hood. I like it

STOCKISH · 07-07-2010, 11:05 AM

Exactly! I want it to look stock except the stance and wheels. And under the hood of coarse!

**nlped** · 07-08-2010, 12:16 PM

And it will. It's going to be fantastic!!!

STOCKISH · 07-08-2010, 04:40 PM

Thanks man. I am hoping to have the fuel tank harness this weekend. If not it will be first of the week. My wife is going to Atl. to visit a friend for a few days so i am hoping to have the harness from BIGCHEVYMAN installed as well as the C-Notch and shackles from Bigarmzz and get the cab mounted this weekend or at the latest by Tuesday night. If I can get the cab mounted I will also get the bed back on and then finish the LS swap details and get the exhaust run before putting the clip back on. Man, after all this time it still seems like a long ways to go!

craazy22 · 07-09-2010, 01:20 AM

Wow... josh I just read post by post of your thread and I must say your truck looks amazing. I have been on this forum for a while but I never post but maan your truck is gonna be sweet. I just bought my complete swap and I will very much appreciate if I can have some pointers. Thanks in advance and keep up the great work on your truck. Fixing to start reading glocks thread.

STOCKISH · 07-12-2010, 09:37 PM

WOW, another night full of nothing but aggrivation, dealing with stupid parts people, sweating my ass off and making absolutely no progress what so ever. I am sooooooo close to parting this thing out it's not even funny.

*Stitch* · 07-12-2010, 09:45 PM

Don't get discouraged buddy. Maybe I need to come up there one weekend and we can get aggravated together working on it. Everything will work out. It always does right? Now enough of the pep talk. What did you try to get done and couldn't get parts for. Did you get anything done to tell is about.

Seriously though I could come up there one weekend and help out

STOCKISH · 07-12-2010, 10:09 PM

Man I didnt get crap done. Ordered the cab and core support mounts a while ago. Came in today and they arent even close. I got so pissed I threw them in the dumpster at work today. Then had to get them out so I could send them back.

Then, I called a local place to have some u-bolts made. 5/8 diameter, 3 1/4 inside width and a 6 1/2 inch leg length. That is exactly what they have on the work order and recepit and all. Wel I opened the box when I got home and they are 1/2 inch diameter. They will not work with my spring plates at all. But whats worse is they put 5/8 nuts in the box with the bolts and 9/16 washers? How they didnt notice they are THREE totally diffrent sizes is beyond me??? It just seems like every time I go out there it's something else. I think a two or three week time away from the truck is in order.

joe231 · 07-12-2010, 10:11 PM

I call dibs on the wheels and tires

Sometimes a break is the best medicine, for me anyhow...

Btw put me second in line

STOCKISH · 07-12-2010, 10:33 PM

I believe the wheels will stay for now. I wish I would have just put a big block and a turbo 400 in it. Dern thing would be done by now. I think just seeing it sitting there going together sooooo slowly is just starting to bother me. I bet I could sell the 6.0, 4l80e and harness and buy a 454/th400 pretty easily!

Jonboy · 07-12-2010, 10:41 PM

Josh, don't let it beat you. Besides, it can't possibly outsmart you, right?

STOCKISH · 07-12-2010, 10:44 PM

I just need to stay focused. Although, I could have this running and driving in 2 weeks with a BBC.

mcbassin · 07-12-2010, 11:03 PM

Easy now....you have came way too far to start talking like that. It will work out. Try to be patient.

*Stitch* · 07-12-2010, 11:10 PM

Definitely sit on it and come back to it later. When things are frustrating, it's always better for me to step back and walk away a d come back to it later. Things mst times seem to fall into place easily then

VA72C10 · 07-12-2010, 11:43 PM

Hang in there man....think of the regrets selling the last project....

STOCKISH · 07-13-2010, 10:25 PM

I know man. I would LOVE to have my 72 Super back. I hd ALOOOOOT of money tied up in that one. Well, against my better judgement I went out to work on the truck tonight. Glad I did. The parts people FINALLY got my
U-Bolts right so I got the 12 bolt rear axle installed I picked up from silvereagle07. (will paint when rebuild it even hough it looks good already) Leafs are painted and installed, shocks and wheels back on and rolling again. Glad to see it looking almost like a truck again. That damn cab is going on soon I swear! I know, pics or it didnt happen.
