[PSYKO_Inc]

Haven't posted a pic thread in a while, so lots of updates for you guys.

Dropped the truck some more about 2 weeks ago, now sitting at 4/5:



Also got a GM rollpan a few months back and relocated the tailgate handle. Still need to weld in the filler panel, but I'll probably wait and shave the tails at the same time:

Built a center console to hold my Clarion equalizer and my CB:




Uniden BCT-8 scanner mounted to the headliner:

Truck PC system:



Air system for my train horns:


Amp rack and sub:


Also installed my new tweeters this weekend:



Whatcha think?

Thanks, the tweeter position was a bit of a tradeoff, but seems to be working well. I was originally hoping to put them in the A-pillars to bring the imaging up, but it'd be too much of a pain in the ass with this particular set. The soundstage isn't bad with them in the doors tho.

Not really a fan of the whitewall look (plus I kinda like the "beefy" look of the 255s in the back), but thanks!

Thanks! I bought the rollpan used from a local forum member (my2ks10xtreme). I did a quick search and I think the part number should be 15958890.

That looks awesome, reminds me almost exactly of my truck just before I got rid of it except for the 94-97 grill and tinted tails! I had clearance issues with my lowering blocks and 295/50's in the rear but I absolutely love the rallye look!

[PSYKO_Inc]

Wow that's crazy, they're almost twins! I have minor rubbing issues in the rear when I take hard corners (axle shifts and tires rub the frame and inside of the wheel tubs) with 7" rims and 255s. I can only imagine how bad it'd be with 295s

[CubanSDime]

i think.... the truck exterior wise has come a long way from stock, but im sure you have plenty more plans for it.....
on the other hand im very impressed with your dediction to the work you have done. it shows in your wiring and installations..... very few people dedicate the extra time to clean up thier work how you have.....

looks like you know your shit

[CubanSDime]

and i gotta agree white walls would flow nicely with your truck

[PSYKO_Inc]

Small update, scored a pair of Sunfire buckets yesterday. Wasn't my first choice in seats, but huge improvement in comfort over stock, and definitely worth the $33 price (Pick-n-Pull was having a half off sale )

Any details about the carputer?

Jay looking good, It was nice seeing you a lot lower at our last meet.



And for the one asking about the rollpan, screw calling GM pick it up from eBay heres the link:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-S1... 200240900783

$61.00 shipped.

[PSYKO_Inc]

Thanks Tom, it's definitely nice to be at a more appropriate ride height

[Ptown]

I was wondering if you were running RR or not. Whats the bootup and response time like on that ?

[PSYKO_Inc]

Pretty quick, I'd guess maybe 15 seconds or so, but haven't ever timed it. By the time I back out of the garage and shut the garage door, it's up and running and music is playing. It's set to hibernate when the ignition is shut off, and only running 512mb of memory to speed up booting from hibernation. I also have any unnecessary services disabled.

[PSYKO_Inc]

Just a small update, no more seatbelt holder thingys :

Nicked the upholstery on the driver's side tho It's only about the size of a cigarette burn (You can kinda see the mark just below the outside headrest post on the driver's seat), but it's gonna annoy the hell out of me. Anyone know where I can get replacement upholstery for a decent price? I'd love to redo the seats in black vinyl. I'd do leather but the kits are expensive at around $500 and it's just not worth the expense right now. Or I might pick up this set of slip on covers: http://www.jcwhitney.com/COVERKING-C...5662_10101.jcw Just kinda unsure of the quality of those, I want it to look like it came that way from the factory, and not slide around when I get in and out of the truck, etc.

[PSYKO_Inc]

Hmm...wonder what all this crap could be for (the boxes have tail lights in them BTW)

[rcdude86]

Looks great. Did you custom build the computer or find it somewhere already made. I am an amateur radio operator and have a jotto desk brand console in my truck with laptop mount and all my scanners and radio gear but want to build something seprate with touchscreen. thanks let me know.

[PSYKO_Inc]

I'm a ham too actually, KI6LWI here My first "truck PC" was actually a Dell laptop with a laptop stand bolted to the floor (Ah, the bad old days ) The current truck PC was built from parts, but 90% of it is standard desktop gear. The only carPC specific parts are the power supply and touch screen. You can find a wealth of information over on www.mp3car.com. I'm using the M2-ATX power supply. It has a built in startup/shutdown controller that's triggered from the truck's ignition switch. It uses a relay to short the pins on the motherboard that would normally be connected to the power button. In Windows XP, I set the option to hibernate when the power button is pressed. When I start the truck, the power supply pulses the relay to simulate the power button being pressed, which makes the computer boot. When I turn the truck off, it pulses the relay again, which triggers Windows to hibernate. I also have the screen powered of the regulated 12v rail of the power supply, so the screen shuts off automatically when the PC powers down. The touch screen is pretty basic, it has a USB interface for the touch panel, which Windows recognizes as a mouse. Other than that, it's just like any other monitor. My advice is to get the nicest touch screen you can afford. I bought a cheap one off Ebay, and I'm not completely happy with it. It's sort of hard to read on sunny days, and this particular screen sometimes doesn't work properly, and I have to cycle power 2 or 3 times to get a usable picture. Just another case of "ya get what ya pay for". If you have any more questions, I'd be glad to help.

Thanks for answering my questions and nice ride, keep up the good work.

[riipciity]

the tweeters in the door look awesome nice work

[dawgnutz]

Nice truck PSYKO! I don't know if I've asked You before, but is that the Hurst shifter for our NV3500 trans? Does it give you any shorter/better shifts? Also, Is that the guage pacakage that came with Your truck? My 4.3/5 speed doesn't have a tach!

What brand tonneau are You running and is it worth it?

[97s10v8]

is that the 98 and up bumper?

Thanks! Yes my truck has the NV3500 in it. Just had the trans rebuilt about a year ago and the damn thing sounds like it has rocks in it again so it'll get rebuilt again once it goes out. The Hurst shifter is great tho. Shortens up the throws a bit and puts the knob in a more natural position (to me), plus it looks a hell of a lot nicer than stock. My truck didn't come with a tach from the factory either, but it was an available factory option. I found a cluster from a 2.2/5spd truck on ebay and scored it for $10. Had to change a capacitor on the back side of the board in order to make the tach read correctly for the V6 engine (before the mod the tach read 50% too high). I also took the odometer reel out of my stock cluster so it still reads the correct mileage. Real easy mod tho, and even easier if you can find one from another 4.3/5spd.

Yep Another easy mod, hardest part was adjusting it so it lined up right with the grille and fenders, but the whole swap was easily doable in an afternoon.
