Project BD stevo's ride

Draggin97 · 10-02-2007, 11:55 PM

werd, like stevo said the boot binds pretty hard. I did not do it on mine but it will be getting done later on, you can almost stick a finger through it. I was also concerned with water possibly leaking in, its not hard to do and the steering column is where it is supposed to be. You can see how much i moved it in the pic, pretty much 3/8". i just put the steering column in then slid the boot over it made it centered then tacked it into place. On that tilt column i am not too sure, i would not think it would be extremly difficult just get one out of the year of your truck or close to it and possibly switch over the wireing harness.

Draggin97 · 10-03-2007, 12:03 AM

its about time this thread made it to 2 pages, i was begining to think it was only going to be one page long. Anyways here is a few left over pics from the weekend-

In the first pic the road is crowned so the trans x member is laying down before anything else.

97bagdS10 · 10-03-2007, 12:36 AM

ya it was a good weekend. i know it is over bd'd, but most people think you have to do then 3"s. or so i have read

2ToneS10 · 10-03-2007, 01:15 AM

those filler plates angled so much make it looked stock floored from the side....which is good!!!

nfamus10 · 10-03-2007, 08:08 AM

Draggin97 · 10-03-2007, 01:14 PM

Thanks, they could be angled a little more on the rear portions but then you would have to make 2 seat mounting locations.

97bagdS10 · 10-10-2007, 02:51 PM

any progress zach?

Draggin97 · 10-11-2007, 06:42 PM

no.....
just kidding yeah i am working on wireing as of now nothing too exciting, i also layed down epoxy to protect all the steel. Here are a few pics of the wireing so far-

97bagdS10 · 10-12-2007, 02:52 AM

ya i know you dont have anything better to do than work on my truck lol. got the hydro line in and the new fitting (which was wrong) so im sending the line and old fittings to ya tomorrow. the line looks like shop air line and its orange but the dude from hyspeco said it will hold upto like 300 psi. so i guess we'll see.

Draggin97 · 10-12-2007, 08:34 AM

cool, is it compareable in width to the stock line???

got_u_sick · 10-12-2007, 09:16 AM

Looks awsome so far man. Nice progress, keep up the good work.

blackblazer717 · 10-12-2007, 10:13 AM

s10madman · 10-13-2007, 04:48 PM

nice work man.

impala_631 · 10-14-2007, 06:10 AM

good stuff

Draggin97 · 10-14-2007, 06:15 PM

some progress-
radiator recessed into core support and lower mounts welded in-

I still have to do the top, the radiator will remove just like stock.
Here is the wireing inside of the cab pretty much done-

here is the wireing for the headlights running on the drivers side frame rail-

laydout98 · 10-15-2007, 03:18 PM

thanks man, thats accually the main wireing harness bundle i guess you would call it and yeah it partially goes where the heater hoses used to run. Its really not too bad to put all the wireing behind the dash i only hand to extend about 20 wires.

so u had to extend wires.. there is one harness thats kinda short on mine it cums of the fuse box then goes under the cab it may be the wires for the tail lights r summtin ...so is there any way around extendin r pretty much no???

Draggin97 · 10-15-2007, 11:24 PM

dont be scared man, just take it a few wires at a time and make sure to lable them if they are the same color and sauter all you connections and you are good to go.

itfell · 10-15-2007, 11:53 PM

draggin97....recessing the radiator into the core support....can you explain a little more about what you did and what the benefit of that is.....i am getting ready to do some of the front end work on mine and i am curious....

mostly clearance towards the front of the motor, and gear box. It also give nice clearance for an e-fan. I just put the radiator support in where it was centered then marked what needed to be trimed and cut it out, i also cut the top layer of the bottom of the rad support out. If you use a plasma it would be pretty easy.

Myst · 10-16-2007, 10:10 PM

let me ask ...what did you use to hold the wiring harness that runs through the floor there...large grommet?

Draggin97 · 10-16-2007, 11:37 PM

I made a peice of metal and drilled a 1" hole in it then cut the peice in 2 so it can fit around the wireing harness. The harness has convoluted wire loom over in and is wrapped in electrical tape and the gaps are sealed with butyl tape. The panel itsef is just screwed in so its removable fairly easy.

dagreenmonster · 10-17-2007, 12:02 AM

what are u gonna do when u go to put the carpet in? wont that be in the way?

97bagdS10 · 10-17-2007, 03:16 AM

i got all new 98+ interior for it and will be workin on that issue later lol. hopefully be driveable by this weekend and i can bring it home and start my work.

Draggin97 · 10-17-2007, 01:46 PM

it can lay pretty flat against the floor and firewall, it should not be a problem.

Draggin97 · 10-18-2007, 06:26 PM

more progress on the radiator support-

It sure is a pain in the ass to make 90' bends without a sheet metal brake.

GCash · 10-18-2007, 07:05 PM

I'm diggin the front frame horns. subscribed

laydout98 · 10-18-2007, 07:26 PM
