Thanks. It's an early 90 Chevy c1500 pedal one bolt goes on the bottom hinge the top I drilled another hole in the emergency brake and behind the hinge outside and the front was welded on. You could easily make it bolt by adding the plate I added behind it
Someone had cut speaker holes but I am leaving them as access holes to put in door pins for the dome light. Also bought the release cable at the auto parts store and it bolted directly to it without modification.

I am doing the whole inside including ceiling and doors with it. I want it as airtight as possible.

I did on the carpet. Went with a carpet padding as well.

28TudorAZ · 04-18-2019, 07:46 PM

Finished the pastry work on the front of the cab and started routing the engine wiring. I plan on getting the font end back on in the next week.

28TudorAZ · 06-20-2019, 04:43 PM

Havent posted in a while. Making some progress. My dad is bringing the doors over at the end of the week. Hopefully get them painted and put on over the weekend. Then its wiring and fluids.

**8man** · 06-20-2019, 07:05 PM

It is looking good.

Thank! Doors and front bumper arrived at my house yesterday. Built the battery box from the s10 one.

**8man** · 06-23-2019, 08:22 AM

Did you do any type of stiffener on the inside of the firewall for the battery box?

The brace going down to the inner fender is welded to the bottom of the box. When I push on it the whole truck moves so it is really solid. Also where I shortened it on one side it has really thick angle iron.

I may steal this idea.

Thanks.
