Hot Dang fellow Barry! You are really showing the process of becoming a Master of Chev Truck! Totally respect your hustle on getting it done! Hour a day is a power thing, but your power is off the charts!

[@StationroadRatrods]

I appreciate it 🙂 lots of work left to do but the list is getting shorter every day 🙂

[@Squarebody1987]

Cool more progress bro getting closer now 👍🏼👍🏼💯

[@StationroadRatrods]

The last few weeks I’ve gotten a pile of work done 😁

[@AWH811]

that moment you realize you did all that work for nothing. 😂 we’ve all been there

[@StationroadRatrods]

It’s soul crushing 🤣 I got over it pretty quick though

[@danielhammond8429]

For the brake pedal, if the distance from the pin to the pivot point is the same than that solid pedal is the one u need. The opposite facing stud doesn't matter because both studs r centered, it's just that the adjustable pedal was offset to the left to make room for the bulky adjustment mechanism. We have a 2500 with hydraboost and I'm pretty sure it looks the same as ur solid pedal does.

[@StationroadRatrods]

I remember seeing in a video that the guy had to change the pedal for hydroboost, but I can’t remember why. I’ll revisit this when I’m ready and give it a closer look

[@danielhammond8429]

Definitely power doors, I wish my el camino had atleast a passenger power window just so I can easily operate it. I did add power locks and a fob but converting to power windows on a 73 elco is expensive so I just live with ut

[@StationroadRatrods]

Nice! I love El Caminos, hope you enjoy the car 🙂

[@phillipthethird42]

I can tell by the smile on your face that you're happy about how close you are. Did I mention that we don't have winters here ?

[@StationroadRatrods]

I’m so excited!! We’ve had some spring weather this week, it’s weird haha.

[@phillipthethird42]

@@StationroadRatrods Yes, I have heard that it has been unseasonably warm throughout the entire north. What are ya trying to do ? Make every place as nice as Florida ?

[@StationroadRatrods]

@phillipthethird42 if I wake up and there are gators outside, I’ll be happy

[@phillipthethird42]

@@StationroadRatrods Well, that's it then. We just grab you in your sleep and jet ya to Florida, fed ex overnight.

@phillipthethird42 make room for Cass and the girls, they want to see the sun too 😁🤪

[@danielhammond8429]

I'm not sure about the two wire connector from the column but maybe it's for the key in buzzer?

[@StationroadRatrods]

Ahh maybe so

[@peytongaslard4008]

Since it's all custom how are you going to register it. Like are you using the papers that match the frame or the cab. Never understood how that works

[@StationroadRatrods]

I’ll be registering the cab

[@peytongaslard4008]

So will you need to change the vin on the frame or leave it

[@StationroadRatrods]

As far as I’ve seen there actually isn’t a vin on the frame

[@Jordy-927]

What's Homer Simpson's radio antenna doing under the dash of that truck? 😂😂

[@StationroadRatrods]

HAHAHA I had to go look for what you were talking about, that’s hilarious!

[@Jordy-927]

@@StationroadRatrodsyou know that the engineer that designed that got made fun of all the time for it too. It's all I could think about when I saw it.

[@StationroadRatrods]

@Jordy-927 oh definitely. I bet he was sick of rendering failed parts and was like FUCK IT noodle mount

[@Jordy-927]

@@StationroadRatrods oh God. Wouldn't that be awesome if that was the name on the drawing!?

[@StationroadRatrods]

I’d really like to know now

[@danielhammond8429]

I'm surprised ur not wanting dbc. Every dbw iv had I always found something about it I didn't like so go out of my way to use a dbc throttle body

[@StationroadRatrods]

I was backed into a corner of using DBW basically. I have a bunch of parts trucks, but they were only 03-07 models. When I go turbo next year ish, I’ll revisit this also. A buddy sent me a 92mm cable throttle body to fit a TBSS intake I have, so I’ll do the big swap all at once

[@danielhammond8429]

@StationroadRatrods I knew u had a ton of parts but whats the odd they were all dbw 😆 Sounds like u have a perfect plan lined up for next year!

[@StationroadRatrods]

@danielhammond8429 I’m hoping it’ll work out for the best, I should have mostly all the parts I need. Maybe have to order an intercooler but that’s not serious

[@brandonleisure9999]

1:10 thats because its a sin to willingly use DBW 😂

[@StationroadRatrods]

Oh definitely, I’m still not sure why I made more work for less good

[@redbone7040]

😝👌💯

[@StationroadRatrods]

All that work to plug in the gas pedal 🤪
