Ya, When does the garbage buring flux capacitor go in anyway? I seem to have missed it in the build thread. . .


Looking Great!! Can't wait to see the finished Truck.

 

not for a few years yet




.

 

buttoned up the Power steering lines today .. but found my return line just a few inches to short .. I'll have to replace that !!
originally , there was /is a bracket for the Main power wire for the starter , housed in a white plastic surround , just around the face of the oil pan ... I wanted to keep it , so I made up a new bracket for the wire casing to "clip" to .. as well as a support for the P/steering line




.

 

pic I forgot to post ...



anyway , the last thing i had to do before the inner paint .. was the new windshield washer nozzles ..

now located on the hood ..

holes cut


and nozzles installed


I also finished the underside , I made the holes for 3 washer hose clips ..

and thats it for now ... deliverd for some color


.

 

not much to add ..
couple of little things .. + got the P/S return line replaced ..




.

 

so a little bit today ... now that the cab is in the paint shop .. I needed to paint some pieces myself..

satin black





.

 

and the dash bezzles



same satin black

.

 

Almost been a week when do you pick up the cab? I bet your getting so pumped to start driving this baby~

 

yes ... way .

I checked in on the paint today .. and it will be " hi-build" primered tomorrow and then inners will be colored next week I hope ..






.

 

...wooooha...!

 

.

 

What are you running for washer nozzles? I highly recommend trying out a set of 06+ camry nozzles, with that weird design that causes the fluid to just come out in a big fan. I run a set on my Supra, they almost drop in, and they're awesome.

 

just went with the 84-88 style ..

will the Camry one fit in the same hole ?

some work on the truck today ..
tightening bolts , and re-checking everything .. and prepping for the cab to go on for the last time




.

 

so a little bit more today ...

got the alignment done , and locked down .. steering damper is also now attached ..

replaced the spark plugs with a heat range lower and platenum tipped ($80.00 bucks) and also a lower temp 170* gates # 33867 thermo .




front drive shaft is now in the works ..



some cleaning and POR15 in the works ...

on the front part of the drvshaft .. under the u-joint , there is a plug ... I have misplaced the size /part #
anyone know it ?

 

got everything back together today . I checked some of the aftermarket stores today, for the dish style frost plug and had no luck , most wern't open today because it was a holiday , so I ended up taking the plug out of an old shaft I had from another truck that I parted out ... I "miked" it .. and was 34.25MM .. if anyone is ever interested..

anyway .. I install the plug , and cleaned and washed and prepped for the POR15 coating ...







Chassis is now complete .. (once I bolt on the front shaft) ... only thing left to do is the Gear oil ...
everything is done and ready for the cab


.

 

so crap ... checked in with the painter today .. and it was NOT primered on friday

just finishing up some of the "lines" .. so hopefully THIS friday we should see some primer ...



.

 

ALL gear oils changed today ...

also picked up the locks .. ALL were re-key'd to match ..

i'm ready for the cab !!



.

 

It is a real pain when you have a schedule, and every thing else in go slow gear. Waiting for things to turn up and so on. I feel your frustration. I have just painted my doors and now I am waiting for the new chrome door handles to come, and the new door rubbers. and they are only 1500Klm away and it has been almost 2 weeks now. But what can you do?

 

yeah .. I do still have lots to do .. so I'm continuing on ...





.

 

worked on the rear door today while my boy was at ball practice ... no I'm not coaching this year!!


fit the new inner cover .. and also glued the rear door skin back on to the frame ..





also painted the shifters .. ;D



cab should have been primed today .. I guess I'll see on Monday
