Re: 74' by Jabes...
I love when you get to a point when a project starts taking shape and it motivates you to keep pushing forward. Ordered some new weatherstripping for the doors and cab to door seals.

Looking really good. I can't wait till I get to the bodywork/paint stage.

Re: 74' by Jabes...
Ordered some taillight gaskets and installed them. I also ordered and installed new tires, since the tires that were on the truck were over ten years old. I purchased Nitto G2 255/35/20 front and 285/35/20 for the rears. Tires fit nicely and in my opinion are the perfect amount of sidewall in conjunction with the ride height. Also just pulled the trigger on a Vintage Air Surefit kit. Build time on these kits at this time is 12-13 weeks. I’m super excited about actually having AC in the truck and being able to enjoy it in the future Summer heat.

Re: 74' by Jabes...
A few more items came. Pretty excited about the new dash! I read some of the reviews from different companies… hope the fitment is good. Also going to try CPP’s front swaybar. I’m kind of taking a gamble that it will fit with the PB arms. Not sure what I’m going to do with the factory swaybar.

Re: 74' by Jabes...
Well, my gamble paid off! CPP’s sway bar fits! Saved some money over PB’s bar. CPP’s bar is actually pretty nice and a lot fatter than my factory bar. Win in my book 👍🏻

Re: 74' by Jabes...
Good job on the progress. I've had a similar "break" in my project and I've been making room in the garage to hopefully get back at it again.

Re: 74' by Jabes...
I’m pleased with the fitment of the replacement dash. I’m still assembling the interior. Not bad…

Re: 74' by Jabes...
Inching closer and closer to an assembled truck. Painted the tailgate, tailgate handle, front bumper trim and color matched the power mirrors. I cleaned up the wiring job I did in my early teens and twenties…it was quite a chore however I have peace of mind that I won’t have an electrical fire. I have to troubleshoot my power door locks, as they aren’t functioning…

Re: 74' by Jabes...
Interior is coming together nicely. I finished cleaning up the rats nest of wires under my dash. Everything is loomed with appropriate length wires, no crimp connectors and I soldered and shrink wrapped everything. Gone are the days of random lengths of wire or spare unknown wires hanging down from the dash. I probably took 10-15lbs of wire and crimp connectors out of the truck. A little more assembly work on the front end as well…

Re: 74' by Jabes...
Made the decision to go back to a stock hood. Brothers Truck parts came in clutch as usual! I really don’t like the fitment of the fiberglass hood and I no longer need the hood clearance. I’m going to hang on to the glass cowl induction hood and spray both hoods so they’re color matched. In the future, if I need the hood clearance I can just swap hoods. Does anyone have a spare factory hood latch laying around?

Re: 74' by Jabes...
Vintage Air showed up… 12-14 week build time at the time I ordered it. Also scooped up CPP’s front coilover setup.

Re: 74' by Jabes...
Quick string alignment so it’s close enough to get it to an alignment rack. I picked up these alignment turntables online… they sure make it easier to get a more accurate toe measurement. I also bought some toe plates, but haven’t used them much

Re: 74' by Jabes...
I literally stumbled across a deal I couldn’t pass up for the FiTech. I did some digging around in my parts bin and found my Weiand blower. I guess I’m changing my mind with the TPI route…
