ShortHaul,

Do you have any engine bay photos of how you routed the red wire from the battery to the cab for your amp in Sweet Pea? The way I have mine routed now goes from the battery up the passenger across the firewall to a hole low on the firewall. I think it looks janky. Can you post any pictures?

Thanks

Yeah let me go take a few pics. I pulled it from the battery up over the radiator and along the driver's side fender and in through the firewall grommet. I covered it in black split loom so it wouldn't show too much.

Finally got a spare mounted up! After waiting for an OEM bed mount for nearly a year I finally just caved and bought the kit from LMC. Install was a breeze and I'm happy with the product. Gotta tune up the hubcap but otherwise it's looking good.

Dumb questions of the day...

Would it be wrong to mount the spare like that on the passenger side?
Is there a reason not too? I was thinking it might help with the Chevy lean; driver,gas tank and spare seams like a lot one one side.

Would that mount work on a stepside?

I luv sweat pea. One of my favorite trucks on the board.

So I had the same debate, but in the end it was the blind spot that was created by having it on the passenger side that made me choose driver. It created a huge vision problem when looking over your right shoulder. Also mine has dual tanks so that’s not an issue.

And thank you for the kind words!!

blazer2007 · 07-29-2020, 10:26 AM

I think it might hinder your vision or they thought it might

Rich84 · 07-30-2020, 11:14 AM

I think I am going to stand a tire there and see what it looks like. I can't really turn my neck that way anyway..LOL

I have not seen one that looks like it will work with the flush step side bed though.

**ShortHaul** · 08-17-2020, 01:16 PM

Swapped out the plugs the other day... Man these ones were tired! I think they may be original to the truck

She fires up a little easier, and runs smoother now.

Been absent lately, but I've been using my truck as a truck... Helping a buddy haul some stuff around (thats his 68 Riv to the right...

Hauled the dirt bike to the hills...

**ShortHaul** · 01-05-2021, 07:35 PM

Also did a little maintenance recently. Had a wierd, no-crank-no start situation going on for a miunte... I ended up swapping the neutral safety switch, ignition switch and starter all in one shot... Not quite sure which one was the culprit but I went ahead and did all 3 at once.

Still one of my favorites

Hey!! Somebody from the forum stopped by today! I was at the track Autocrossing my Impala... but the wife said somebody dropped by and said they recognized my truck from the forum here... identify yourself!!!

**ShortHaul** · 03-14-2021, 02:37 AM

Welp... Pulled the trigger on a 5.3/4l60e combo a few days back...

I've got a few weeks before it arrives to collect the necessary parts and pieces. Wish me luck!

Just doing Truck stuff!

**ShortHaul** · 07-18-2021, 03:37 PM

Well… the LS swap plan just took a big step backward… the shop I had placed an order with went under… so now I’m back on the hunt for a Ls. No money lost, just time… so not the end of the world. But now I’m left questioning if I even really want to go that route after all…

layinrocker65 · 07-19-2021, 11:39 AM

The answer is yes…..
