Iced Green dream

[PipsC10]

Need to pull the manifold and fix a coolant leak. Got my painless wiring harness today so I can rewire everything. Hopefully it really is painless. Need to get the bed back on, finish plumbing the air lines and get it to the alignment shop. More pics to come later next week.

under dash and engine harness done. Just need to finish rear harness and some other odds and ends. The painless harness was really easy to install, great product. All the factory connections made it a simple install. Last week I ordered a porterbuilt tank/compressor bracket, should be here soon. I wanted to get the tank out of the cab. My goal is to have the bed back on this weekend so I can finish my fuel neck and get it to the alignment shop.

Bed is painted. Stuck with white. I am going to have the inside sprayed with line x when I get it mobile. White seemed to be the best choice because I am painting it in pieces. After I get everything together and lined up I will have it all cut and rubbed and put the trim on.

I like the white, looks really good

cab is back from bodywork, firewall painted. Time to mount fenders and hood and finish body work so I can get this thing finished.

[PipsC10]

not sure why all my pics are sideways

[PipsC10]

just waiting

[PipsC10]

cab and doors done

[PipsC10]

Time to mount the doors and set the cab back on the frame. Fenders and hood next. I ordered these gauges they should be here by the end of the month

[PipsC10]

Doors need a tiny bit more adjustment. Fenders and hood next. Starting to see some progress and it has me motivated

[PipsC10]

ride height sensors are done. My gauges finally arrived and I couldn't be happier with how they look. It was well worth the 2 month wait to get them. Moving along as I have time to work on it.

Looks good.. Never been a fan of any of the aftermarket gauges until I seen yours. Those look awesome.

Thanks, I was never a fan of aftermarket either. I had an auto meter set up that I sold. It just didn't look right. I went back and forth a ton until I saw these.

Thanks, can't wait till she is done so I can start to meet up with people at shows and such

[NewType72]

Yeah I usually hit the grafitti week events of course and then good guys in pleasanton. I'll be following the build for sure!

[PipsC10]

set the cowl, fenders and hood today to double check the fit before they get paint. I was really happy with how they lined up. It won't be "perfect" but it sure does pay to use original sheet metal. After a little tweaking her and there it seems to fit better than original. Off to paint should have them back in 2 weeks for final assembly.

ran across this pic from last year at the fallen heroes car show in Modesto. A patrol car was staged for photos as you came in. This is my Dad in his 49

[PipsC10]

I've seen a few of these done so I decided to make one myself. I was going for a factory look. I believe someone is making them with a 3d printer now as well. A little more sweat equity to save some dough instead of buying one

[NewType72]

Very clean mount for your knobs. Good work!

[PipsC10]

fenders back and made some wiring progress. Finally made an exhaust cross member and the mufflers are in for the last time. I will get rid of the dump ends and run them out the back after the truck is on the road. Column in and almost have the engine harness finished. Also had the front and rear glass put in. I need to fix about 4 leaks from plugs on my air tanks and do some more cutting on the inner opening under the dash wear the ac/heat bulkhead comes through so i can get a wrench in to tighten the fittings more. I also ordered a retro sound stereo that will compliment the dash well and Im going to make a replacement speaker mount for under the dash in the factory location that holds some good 4" speakers. Im getting more and more excited about finishing this thing
