Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.

Even though Saturday is supposed to be my day to work on my projects, I had Wyatt make patches for the areas we relived in the firewall.

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.

Went to the City today and dropped a small fortune on reproduction Parts
The parking lights and glovebox door cost me $195. The parking lights are used, but they are mint.

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.

we got a lot done today. But I think I got ripped off on the Wiring harness. There is a bundle of 8 wires that go to an external connection. I’ve identified 4 of them. The TCC, speedo, tach, and fan. Those are the only 4 that the pinout says there should be! There’s no instructions and the wires aren’t labeled. I bought it through messenger and since my account was hacked, I had to start a new one. So now I can’t contact the seller! If we don’t figure it out soon I’m going to have to buy another harness! We took the front clip apart. Body worked the roof. Welded in the hacked up radio hole

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.

We finished wet sanding the drivers side. Cowl is ready for paint, roof still needs one more fill. Engine turns, but for some reason the fuel pump isn’t getting power. We are diagnosing now. I’ll stick Wyatt on it tomorrow.

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.

looking great!

did you have the pcm software modified? you probably did, but in case you didnt gotta take out the passlock at the very least, it will keep the fuel pump from running.

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.

We spent pretty much all day getting the door rubber off, it was like it was petrified! Then we stripped the remaining items out of the cab, in preparation for paint.

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.

I am not satisfied with the patch on the radio hole, so Wyatt will be re-doing it on Wednesday. We started by painting the back wall of the cab, all the areas that are grey primer will be blue like the exterior and blended in with the black.
