I´ve been seeing your thread for 2 days now...
I have a stock 22r 4wd 86 pick up/ Bf´s Goodrich 30x 10 all terrain that I love, And because of my lack of knoledge and the dificulties of finding what I need down here in Acapulco (Mexico)... I´m able to do only little things to improve my truck, but I love to work on her... I´m certanly learning a lot from all you guys...Congrats Man you are a true example of what it takes...

 

I shoulda smuggled that supercharger out of your shop when I had the chance...

 

Ive been keeping up with your project from the start, now its nice to finally see it running, great work and can`t wait to see it finished.

 

All I can say "That is a beautiful thing!!!"

Congrats!!!!

 

i wanted to cry after watching that then looking outside at my poor old truck! HA! Great job slacker!

 

thanks guys ...

now I get to start pulling it all apart again , for the final welding , and to paint all the inners .



.

 

now slacker we fully expect that the pull apart, welding, painting and reassembly will only take 4-5 hours
You have an audience waiting!!! thanks again for the inspiration!

 

ahh yeah right !!!! no rushing anything here , i'll just take my sweet time ! (hence the name)



little work on the dash today .. got the clutch start switch and "spare" switch cover mounted on the left side ..
had to cut out the old dash piece , make a new "cluster" mount and suport piece for the underside .. welded it all in , and got the dash partially back together




.

 

so continuing working on the wiring , and getting the dash all layd out ..

continuing on the dash
got some of the swithches in ..







lamp reostat , hazard switch , and clock ..






started working on the heater bezzle and broke it .. D@#B !!!! so I now need to find another one






.

 

lmao dude that sucks, i had like 3 of them here laying around, then they got threw out

 

ratz ... I still need to find one !

so .. looking at the pics this morning , the guage cluster looked "off"

I guess from my pulling it in and out of the truck with the suports cut out , bent it . the whole left lower section was "bent" over about 1/2 inch . once its bolted in the truck , should be good . but I had to bend it back into position ... I'll have to be more carefull !





.

 

I know ... I know ...

this build is sooooow long ...




there is progress , I hopefully will have the "mock up" of the dash completed tomorrow .
