well,a little more progress today.i managed to get my hands on a 20 year old,new in the package,repro wire harness gutter for the firewall,took that hard piece of plastic crap off the firewall that i just bought,and fired it in the trash along with it's brother for the rad support.i installed the new/old one in minutes,nice and soft,pliable,the way it's supposed to be,and what do you know?where there was a screw hole in the molding,there was a hole to match in the truck??now i have to come up with something for the rad support,as i think my trip to the Charlotte Autofair might be in thin ice??might not ever be able to afford the gas??i have to now come up with something for the rad support wire gutter.the fenders are on along with my repainted fender emblems,the new harness for the kickdown is on the turbo 400(thanks Dan)the battery is in and some other odds and ends hooked up and installed,waiting on some GM heater hose and clamps,that's about it,it'll be ready to start.
