I started a new job in January that allowed me more time to be able to apply for a job that I would want. (long story). Well I got hired on a big collision repair company and start next monday. So I have a week off for vacation for myself! Jimmy time! heh

So yesterday my buddy Junior came over and we knocked out a bunch of stuff.

installed high beam swich on cteering column, all lights now work, installed licence plate lights, installed new passenger window motor, both power windows work, power door locks now work, adjusted rear window and tailgate, installed power rear glass popper, rewired fuel pump into ignition....

Installed typhoon center console brackets, console, shifter, etc Now have a working Typhoon shifter. 'Tested power seat and everything works great (thanks Zach). When I bought the truck from Jeff it had a 2nd gen power seat base on the 2nd gen seat with custom brakets to work with a 1st gen S10. I took the seat base off the 1nd gen seat and installed it on the factory Typhoon seat. Sweet!
Removed the grille and started working on oil and tranny cooler placement.
Still need to do A/C condensor somehow.

The center console project


Completed





With all the windows closed for the 1st time since paint, I got to do a real wash on it! Even used some tire shine! haha

 

That's a real nice jimmy, ill make sure I follow this thread!

 

I tried to tell you that the local pick-a-part had a rear window that you wanted for $40 but TexasSseries was gone.

 

Is it still there? I want it!!

 

My salvage yard trip yesterday was awesome

- door spring (lost one), tailgate power actuator (mine is weak), tailgate power wire rubber protector for jamb, front shock bolts (no clue where they are), drivers floor hole plug (lost it), tailgate latch gizmos (something else I'm missing).

A gem in all that crap. power mirror switch (mine went missing)

My score


- Found an old bravada and thought, I wonder if it has the same fog lights as a bravada. Sure enough! Did you know that te fog light harness is completely independent from the engine and lighting harness?!? I didn't! So this plugs into both fog lights, then there are two connectors in the middle, you unplug the headlight and plug the headlight into one end and the headlight harness into the other, connect the headlight ground and then the other end to into the cab to the switch. Awesome! Just like factory! Seriously, that easy! I thought I would have to custom wire something!

So overall it was a great day digging and I got a horrible sunburn. Suck.
Tomorrow I'm gonna start on the carpet!!

 

Today was carpet day.

I ran all the wires, filled holes, ran RCAs and stereo wires, then started with the carpet. What a pain!

The start of it. New ACC carpet.

New GM sill panels.

And my parting shot at night. I hope to finish up the carpet tomorrow.

 

truck looks better and better every day man. love the work. love where its heading.... the finish line

 

Greg - Sadly it wasn't there the other day, but they've had 3 of those bare windows in the past 8 months so chances are good that another will show up.
