I still think that it's bad of you to make her drive something else but GM!!
Or maybe it's because you haven't let he try a GM???

Yeah what did she do to make her deserve that?
I’ve tried to trade her! Lol
One more piece and it’s done. Have to make something to cover the steering column and tie the bottom part together with the top. Then I can take it apart one more time and finish my wiring. I came to the realization earlier that I totally forgot about the fuel gauge... I know where we have one at the shop that’s stashed away in a secret place so I’ll just snag it. It’s one of those things I was supposed to throw away when we were cleaning the shop but I knew it was brand new so I kept it.
I think I’m done...
other than the fuel gauge, ram mount, high beam indicator, and turn signal indicators.

High beam indicator. Lol took a few coats of VHT nightshades to tone it down. It’ll blend in good!

You tried to trade her for the truck or tried to trade her in?
Neither. I’m kinda partial to her. I tried to trade her trucks. Lol
Surprise!!!! Found this little mess under my dash. Doesn’t look like it did any damage to any of the other wires.
It’s almost 2am... I should probably go to bed. I should be able to fire this thing up on Monday.

Nice work dude! I don’t mind the dash at all. Looks more function focused that a factory dash cluster.
And thank you sir for the morning “lol”.
Fire it uppppp!!

We heard that shit weeks ago
I want to REALLY bad but I have to be patient.
@GWeakland620 at full stuff how far up the core support does your front tire go? I am just trying to find the best place to mount my battery. I remember you had to trim the lip on the bottom of your support.
I actually haven’t trimmed it yet.
Oh..... dang it
Yeah, the truck needs to run for me to be able to flex it lol.
Would have fired it up tonight but I had some issues getting the oil filter off. I spent almost 3 hours fighting the stupid thing, cussing myself for not changing it before I did the exhaust! I was convinced that I screwed up the threads when I stuck a screwdriver through it. Had it down to the base, using a chisel and hammer and it was barely turning. Then I realized something I never noticed before... the bellhousing bolt hole went all the way through and the bolt became a set screw for the oil filter!!!! Backed the bolt off and BAM!!! Filter (what was left of it) spun right off. Put a shorter bolt in and it’s all good now. Good news is....... There wasn’t any metal in the filter!
Everything is wired in and appears to be functioning. Need to top off the coolant, put some gas in it, and loosen the belts on my PS pump and I’ll be able to fire it up.
Then it’s time to clean up my mess. If that doesn’t take too long I’ll finish up the wiring inside the cab. These late nights are kickin my butt!!!

Are you shooting for a date to get it running?/ Moving?
I was hoping to get it done by the end of this month but I don’t think it’ll happen. Hopefully mid October. Getting it started is huge.
It’s alive! Freakin fuel pump is LOUD.... I have a plan for it though. Overall it sounds good and after it hit 150* I could definitely hear the fitech doing its thing!
Awesome! That thing sounds sweet other than that REALLY loud fuel pump.
