i know, just found it on facebook...

 

Well, after i have done the 92+ frontend conversion i didnt have marker lights or forward corners... So a trip to my shop was made, i had picked up a replacement headlight due to one being cracked. while i had the grill and whatnot off, i decided to split the old wiring loom and add the pigtails to the 90's wiring harness. several burnt fuses and swear words later i now have a set of headlights that dim, turn signals that work properly, and corner and marker lights! Now, i need to swap my doors and the internals around, patch the rust and she will be ready for paint! Im excited!

 

Update... I got an itch after bringing the truck in due to some mechanical issues...
sorry for the cell pics...
Shaved emblems.

fixed some rust, i have plenty more to go...


now i need to do the other side and putty em.

ACTION SHOT!!!

 

looks sweet man can't wait to see some paint on her!

 

that makes two of us blue! I'm still needing to do the cab corners...

 

Havent done much with the rust on it lately due to school and golf eating up my time, but i did however start swapping doors and their internals around. The old doors were bent due to running the strap through them when we pulled the cab. I ran out of stove bolts and had to stop swapping internals for the time being. Driver side is finised. I just need a pop rivet and 3 more stove bolts and i should be able to finish up either tomorrow or tonight if golf permits... Ill post picks up later!

 

Insert a V10

Did I miss a part in the thread where you tell us what engine is in that? Based on the MPG you stated, I'm guessing 460?

 

you're a funny guy! Id love a V10! its only a 351.... my foot is in it half the time though...

 

Well, i finally got around to taking photos of it... but first, lets reflect to what I started with to what i have at the moment!
What i started with...

What i have at the moment...

 

Nothing to speak of for mods, running outa funds! Altough, that old 351 has proved a 04 vortech owner wrong! spanked him like the little chev he was, that's what happens when you pull up beside me on a flat and stay there trying to race me, an earfull of exhaust! i even gave him 3 honks... He claims it pours black smoke, so i need to find a way to lean her out a bit...

 

Hats off to a fellow Iowan!!! Looks good and you are doing a helluva job. I'm originally from Tripoli, in the NE corner of the state. Where are you located?

 

Villisca actually, SW corner of the state!

 

Nothing to add, took the beast to a truck show!!! Last place, but thats not a bad thing seeing how it was an ugliest truck show... Talked to a man that made an intake to convert an efi 351 lower manifold work with dual 4bbl carbs... i may have an additional thread if i get some carbs.
