I thought for a second there you had them timed to the music in the background LOL
Nice project!

 

[Dzchey21]

I'm not that good lol

Some more little things check off the list this weekend

Power windows are working. They will just need wired up once I get the harness in the doors. I used a set of regulators from a 1990 ford bronco that I had laying around and modified them. Wasn't too bad first one took me 3 hours the next took me less than 30 minutes.

I cut a hole in the door for the keyless entry pad on the drivers side. All vehicles need these even if they are old lol.

Dash is almost ready to be permanently mounted just need a few more things and then I can dissassemble everything and undercoat and clear coat. I ordered a new door seals and window seals for the entire truck as well as a smooth one peice back glass. I also ordered a power door lock kit for these truck specifically and I'll make an attempt to wire them into the 04 harness so the key fob and door key pad work.

Glad to see this again. Was wondering about it a few weeks ago.

 

[Dzchey21]

Yeah life happens. We just built a house so that took some time away from the project. Now that summer is over and we are settled I can move along on it again.

I love these trucks, 73-79s are the best. You have some skills for sure man. And that is a nice big shop, it it at your house?

 

[Vader's Fury]

Understand the life happens stuff. I took apart my 03 5 years ago and it is still in pieces. Moving, kids, etc really slow things down sometimes but the important things come first.

 

[Tom@BigTimeKustomz]

Glad you're back at this Dustin!

 

[Dzchey21]

The shop pictures are my dads place which is right next door to me. I wanted to get it out of his way and into my garage where all my tools and stuff are at. I hope to build a similar shop in two years.

I know where a couple old 70s supercab trucks are sitting. I'm tempted to make a move on them and perhaps build a puller out of one....with the mech 7.3 ive been messing with for the past 5 years. And I also aquired my dad's old 78 250 rclb....but it's a rusty pile right now. This thread wants me to get started on one. Lookin good.

Thanks I love these trucks my first truck was my reg cab I've always wanted to sell it as a love hate thing but I can't do it.

Made a little more progress today. 04/79 radiator support mended together so the factory coolers will stack in correctly.
