new kid in the neighborhood

It's warmer now, any progress?

Unfortunately not really, I have been workin on building another hot rod for the father in law and helping my buddy redo his bag setup in his 62 suburban. Plus I've been trying to get my house projects done, we are considering getting it finished and selling it so we can find a place with a larger shop or a yard large enough to build a bigger one, then I can build my truck anytime. I wish it was done I have everything to bag it except space lol. I did buy a couple of Alpine amplifiers for it not too long ago though, a mono for the subs and a 4 channel for everything else.

So does anyone have a good wiring diagram for the fuel pumps/ tank selector assembly? I'm wanting to do away with the passenger side tank and the selector assembly and only have the driver side tank. Can I trim the wiring harness and eliminate the stuff that I dont need, I've removed the switching unit from the underside of the truck. Basically I just want the left tank and the fuel gauge to work and eliminate everything else.

So last week I took the whole week off from work to stay home and put a big dent in bagging and body dropping the truck. Seems like thats the only way I can accomplish any of my own projects.

More progress, this is cupping the lowers, finishing the rear end, and Z'ing the front frame.

Man it was awesome to finally get it laid out and see how much work was accomplished in 9 days off, I Z'd it 2" and took 2.5" off the bottom of the frame it gives me a final ride height of 1.5" for the body to clear, but the frame is laid completely out. It also made my steering a lot easier to figure out as my stock rod just bolted right back up, even laid out I have a 1/4" clearance between the steering shaft and the upper arm.

Great progress!!

DZL1.

Looking really good

So I finally got to work on it tonight for a bit I haven't touched it since Sunday that's exactly what I mean about needing to take off time from work just to get a project done things come up and people wanna stop by and b.s. so nothing gets done. Anyways I managed to change the exhaust manifold gaskets and plugs while the engine is out on the garage floor. I also got rid of all the wire loom on the engine harness since it was all busted up and just taped all of it up with new tape, it looks ten times better. I should be stabbing the engine and tranny back in tomorrow night or Sat. morning. I'm still looking for advise on the wiring to the fuel pumps and tanks.

Well the engine is back in as of Friday night, got 95% of the wiring hooked back up. Saturday I got the transmission crossmember built, painted, and installed, as well as the driveshaft/ carrier bearing crossmember done. Started putting the exhaust back together and hooked up the transmission linkage. I also had help available so we put the radiator support on and the hood just to keep the engine covered up and dry, it rained all day yesterday. If I can get it fired up then I can start buttoning up the rest of the fenders and bed. Then I can make a mount for the york and start installing the tank and valves, just have to see how it goes this week. Just never seems to go fast enough?
