Re: A tale of three trucks or, three trucks enter, two leave

Latest update. A bit of jumping around in what I'm doing because, I'm waiting on parts and don't want to waste time. As of today:

-square body cross-member and motor mount perches are in.

-engine and transmission are installed. Used a Jegs muscle car oil pan and as a result, had to do a lot of surgery on the square body cross member. If I had to do it again, I would pick another pan. For priming the motor, I built a pressure primer, on previous builds, I used a garden sprayer and it finally quit on my last build so, time for something more permanent.

-fuel lines installed. I used a Dorman fuel line kit to run the nylon lines all the way to the tank and used the filter fittings from the donor truck. This kit works really well and saves having to piece together stuff. It even had the fittings to connect to the Blazer sending unit.

-exhaust built, just waiting on hangers to finish install. Used Hooker exhaust manifolds and these easily clear the frame.

-wiring harness 95% complete, only have to connect a few more wires

-swapped the instrument cluster to one with gauges and because the bezel was a bit tired looking, dressed it up with some wrinkle paint.

-Made the brackets and modifications for attaching the 700R4 TV cable to the LS throttle body
