Looking great man, keep up the killer work!

I have never seen a chassis get snow-foamed before. Good work, that's great.

Nice cleaning shot!! I was wondering if you might share what you used? I am looking to do same on my back half soon. also i am wondering if you have a plan for the wire connections for the elec. fuel pumps? and what you plan to do for the engine wiring.
.... as always... great work!!

I used the Jax Wax soap cannon with their wash. It did a pretty nice job.

I have been using harnesses by a member here...GMachinz I have been happy with his work so will probably use all of his harnesses.

Since a few people asked, Harnessworx makes a kit that includes the valve and a brand new harness, including one that adds power and relays to run in tank pumps. Just over $300, but mine was astounding quality.

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-26-2020, 09:31 AM

I always wondered what the extra hole was for on the cab mount brackets, so I got under my other stepside and noticed there was a hole in the cab that matched it. I will assume the factory used these to line up the cab when the truck was assembled........sooooo I'm gonna go with that plan. At least it should give me a good starting point for getting it lined up.

rodstored-72 · 02-02-2021, 10:17 AM

very cool

... I wish my '86 had those holes. I am in the process of doing the same thing now that the bushings are replaced... hhhmmmmm

STOCKISH · 02-03-2021, 09:33 AM

Thanks for those part numbers my man. Does the exhaust hang below the frame anywhere?

Technically, yes there are spots below the frame.....

SCOTI · 02-08-2021, 09:31 AM

That set-up tucks nicely as far as bolt-in kits go. Looks good.
