Mission Creep on a D-150
Slow progress lately, but I'm moving forward a step at a time. I went over the grill a bit more but it's wrapped up now, new uupgraded headlights in, and fixed the front turn signals.
Having been hounded mercilessly for NOT cleaning up the engine bay when I did the original rebuild (yes, you know who you are...) I gave it as good a go-over as it's going to get until - and if - I repaint it. Surprisingly, this was a two-evening job but I do have to admit, it looks better.
I removed all the lean burn junk when I went through the truck at the beginning of this saga. Then I wired in what I needed for the HEI conversion. I didn't do wire looms since I needed to make sure all was working well. That appears to be the case so I'm going to finish the wires and get it loomed up. I wanted better gauges so I bought this super small set. I'm still fiddling with location but I think they will go in front of the cargo light switch. I can still reach the switch if needed but it's a decent spot for the install. I'm going to run the new gauge wires first, then do the looms, then finish off the gauges afterwards.
Looks like someone had the hiccups for that last photo, eh?
