Re: My partial build thread
I had to replace the front grill support, the old one was bent and bondo'd...
I also added a new main wiring harness, and a new upgraded engine harness from Chevy Thunder.... I have new Dolphin gauges on the inside, and the rest of the truck is now black primer..... I also have a B&M Megashifter to install, and the new fuel cell installed with the high flow fuel pump.... Chad

Re: My partial build thread

Flintstones brakes!! lol that looks great and thanks for the pics.

Re: My partial build thread
well be sure and lemme know how that goes. hopefully it cranks right up but i know from experience we arent always that lucky. just a little tip, make sure the fuel line doesent leak by the engine. we missed it and it backfired through the carb and caught the whole damn thing on fire. could have been alot worse but we had a fire extinguisher handy. lookin good. im gonna go with a TPI setup. thanks for the links, those helped quite a bit.
