I wasn't going to worry about replacing the wiper motor since the original one didn't work and I shaved it off the firewall now. But my dad thought I should have a wiper motor just in case it rains in the desert or to pass an inspection if needed. I wanted to hide the motor but utilize the stock wiper linkage. I found a relatively flat place inside the cowl on the passenger side and mounted it. I flipped over the rod that used to point toward the driver side where the motor was and cut it down. I'm temporarily holding the 2 pieces together at their new length with hose clamps. I used a S10 blazer wiper motor so that it would be compact but now that I got it done I think I should have just bought a stock replacement for the sake of wiring. The S10 motor isn't that much smaller. It works perfectly and the AC Delco motor I found on ebay was $35. Now my concern is if the wiper motor is in the way of a Vintage air AC system. I know they tuck up under the dash but I don't know if they go all the way up.

I made some progress on the front airbags over the last week. I got the upper brackets recently and I've been playing around with placement. After welding them on and grinding a little I put it all back together. I finally own a truck with airbags!

Good news! By the end of this weekend the front portion of my frame and all of the dropmember pieces will be painted silver. My firewall is almost done being sanded and will get painted red next week. Then the engine goes back in. I'm soooooo glad to finally be making some progress. Here are some pics of the current state of affairs.

Just read this whole build from start to right now. I really like that fuel tank. Where did you get it from?
|
Re: Starting to start starting a C4 conversion on my 84 SWB GMC
I don't know where the fuel tank is from there is no sticker or stamp on it. It came with the truck so it is from the original build 20 years ago.

Thanks guys!
Here's the paint progress: the frame is silver and the firewall is red. We are planning to wet sand and buff the red tomorrow. For the 2 years I have been working on this firewall and dropmember part of the project I have tried to imagine what it would look like finished but nothing compares to actually seeing it done. Wow, paint makes such a difference! I really appreciate my brother putting his time into my truck to get it done. I'm likely moving to a different house in a month and we set a goal of getting the engine bay area painted and the engine mounted for the move. If wet sanding happens tomorrow as planned then the engine will go in this weekend. |

Thanks Volker,
Sorry for the low res. phone pics, I'll post better ones after we buff it out. |
Re: Starting to start starting a C4 conversion on my 84 SWB GMC
That really looks good. Make sure you tape the edges of the panels, so they don't chip during reassembly.
