Well after alot of routing wires etc, we mounted the battery box and temporarily mounted a battery. I told my son that the truck would start if we installed the distributor, and spark plug wires, he looked at me with a HUGE grin!, so to prove my point, I told him we could turn it over for a second to see if i did the wiring correctly to this point

Below is the outcome....

. we should be able to start routing wires for the lights etc. soon i hope.....

Yeah, it was awesome Geoff, I havent seen him that lit up in awhile. Hopefully this weekend we can concentrate on the truck and try to get most of the wiring completed. We had graduations etc. this past weekend that kept us from working on the truck.

Thanks Nate!

Heath, you and your son have made some amazing progress. At this rate you'll have your K-10 done before mine.

Keep up the good work buddy.

VA72C10 · 05-24-2010, 08:53 AM

nice progress. Keep at the wiring....going through the spaghetti on my blazer now correcting a key off drain the PO installed for me

Actually his wiring work was very nice and I hate having to undo all of the nice wound and wrapped wire to hunt down what most likely is one wrong connection somewhere...

Thanks Jonathan, I hate wiring, its sooo time consuming. I hope we can wrap it up soon.

Heath, I just read through your whole build, great job (I mean it!). The sure sign of good craftsmanship is when there is a noticeable absence of cut corners. Your followers are extremely valuable in supporting you, and being anxious for your results, but I can truly appreciate your desire to take your time, do it right, not scratch the paint! It must be agony for your boy, though!

Kc,

Thanks for reading, and following along on our Father / son build, it's been a blast! My son is very anxious, but have tried to remain calm

I need to wire the gauges (which i dont have yet

), wire the lights, buy spark plugs and spark plug wires, install radiator, rad hoses etc. We will keep pluggin away at it.

Thanks again for you kind words, it surely helps keep us motivated.

gcburdic · 06-04-2010, 01:23 PM

Heath...I think I got a set of shorty spark plugs that I never used....if you're interested in them, I'll make ya a deal
