    Alrighty, been busy on this truck. Fuel system is 100% installed, now. Went ahead and pulled the mock up engine and trans, got them disassembled to be shelved.

    Hm.... happened to have this 71-72 Chevelle SS steering wheel sitting around. Jury is kinda out on it, it's definitely a good departure from the standard 4 spoke truck steering wheel. I'll have to drive it a bit and see.

    Some junk from Holley was on the porch when I got home this evening! Guess we can finally finish the fuel system tomorrow evening!

    Figured while I was in here wiring the interior, I'd go ahead and get rid of the 12v lighter receptacle in favor of a 3Ah fast charging USB port. New vehicles have really skewed my reality on how fast phones should charge. Good news! All I have left to wire is the fuel cell level sending...

    Holley Terminator X and MSD relay board in and wired! Don't mind the wire pass-thru, still waiting on my grommet to come in. Need to make the wire runs for the Fuel level resistance and ground from the Holley dash, run the fuel pump power and ground wires. Plan is to yank the mock up 6.0...

    Spent some time on the Piss Missle, today. Yanked the factory style tank out. Then sized the bed floor for a 20 gallon sumped fuel cell, went ahead and built all of the 6 AN lines for the feed, return, waiting on the Holley 100GPH pump, filter and regulator to arrive. Was initially going to...

    Welp, guess i'm sitting on my hands at this point, until the machine shop is done. LS6 Intake cleaned, fuel rails scuffed and repainted, Siemens Deka 80lb/hr injectors installed. Decided to try out the Walmart brand "Super Clean" spray bottle degreaser, this has to be the most magical...

    I think we're going to issue a change order here, this truck is now called the Piss Missle! Everywhere I turn, there's more mouse piss.

    Okay, got the Holley ECM and MSD Relay board mounted in the glove box. I really dig how compact and well this worked out!

    Went to the local welding and metal supply and picked up: Two 8x8x.125 A36 plates, one 1.250x36 Dom tube, .035 welding tips and 2lbs of .035 wire for $66. That'll be what I need to A.) Cover the manual trans floor hole and B.) Build a shifter pedestal like I did with the 90. Also ordered a...

    Noted, will still reference any mouse turd and piss encounter as hantavirus inducing. :Big Laugh::Big Laugh::Big Laugh::Big Laugh: :Big Laugh::Big Laugh::Big Laugh::Big Laugh: Be careful it's the midwest, the mice and packrats have thumbs out here. I caught the little ******** trying to...

    Okay, how I didn't pickup a new strain of the hantavirus is beyond me, the whole HVAC box was full of mouse ****, piss and their nesting debris. I also haven't seen this many dead fiddleback spiders in my life. New evaporator and heater cores, blower motor installed. HVAC box wiped down...

    Make note: 05/21/24, I actually turned a wrench on this truck. Been a while. Removed the factory fan shroud, mechanical fan and installed a new set of 2010+ Ford F150 electric fans. Hopefully the LS6 shortblock will be done, soon. Seems it keeps getting pushed back. Also found the MSD 4...

    Traded it in on the new Ram, build quality of the Silverado was trash. That made my mind it was my last new GM truck I'll ever buy.
