needed a battery tray for the drivers side .. so I made one ..









not welded to the cab yet as I need to do some finish bracing .. so I'll wait untill I pull the cab off to do the final welding ..




also started "prepping" some mounts .. getting some pieces in there final location ..

fuel canister is "mocked up" cut some metal out for the perfect fit under the hood ..







shouldn't be to bad as , i'm not using a "flexy" suspension .. I doubt I will ever "touch" this mod with a tire .. I know I could run the "round" type fuel canister .. but I didnt want to .



.

made up some brackets and finally got the fuel canister mounted ..



and also the fuse box



also started on the gas pedal . the original 83 was toast .. as with most of them the hinge that mounted to the floor was rusted and beyond repair .. I didnt want to use another "floor mounted " pedal ... so I made my own
heres where I started



the bolt patterns are different and positioning is also way different , so they are NOT interchangeable .

I started by cutting the pins off of both pedals ..
first I cut off the /83 pin and welded it to the 2000 shaft .



then for the tension spring I used the post fron the 2000 , drilled a hole for the spring , and welded it to the /83 bracket .. sand blasted and started to put it back together .



put some zinc , and then some color and mounted ..



I had to drill new holes for the throttle cable and will weld up the old ones when the cab comes off for final welding and engine bay paint




.

progress has been slow as of late .. My shop is going threw some growing pains , so not much getting done threw out the week ..

but this weekend , I was back at er' ..
getting everything labled .. it's comming !!



also , checking the fuse box on the drivers kick panel .. and there really isnt much room ...
so I'm going to build a specific box or "french" the fuse box

I really do not envy you on that wiring job...

it's not fun ... the manuals are not as good as I thought , wires posted in different areas , I have even run into different color coded wires then listed , I know it's me and not the manuals , but jeeeezzzzz ... I have little hair as it is .

looking back , I should have just stayed with the original harness , but my delema with that is that it was 25 years old ! so in the end I think it will be worth it .

I'm so glad i bought the ORS swap harness and brand new engine harness for my 3.4 swap.

finally got a day off to work on my truck

and got the brake lines done and clutch line ....



all the brake lines are now plumbed .. even built a bracket and mounted the new proportioning valve





2 more lines to run .. fuel and fuel vapor ..
