oh har har, im going to mail you some anthrax to choke on, mmk sweetheart?

should be ready by the jackson meet....plan is to bring the work truck to beat up on some of those MS race trucks

I finished most of the interior today, cleaned the turbo from the tornado debris, and finished the oil stuff on the engine. Turbo looks just fine. Just have to tap the front cover and the engine will be ready to go in.

Tomorrows goal is to get the 10b from the work truck out and regear it so I can throw it in my silver truck.

How did you make the 03+ cluster work? The 100mph speedo really sucks in my truck, the only way I've seen is to send out the stock one to get reworked and that is pretty spendy for what it is. Everything looks like its coming together nicely, it will be nice to be able to drive that thing after all the work you've put it it!

Looks like a 99-02 denali cluster.

Thanks guys, I was starting to think no one cared any more

I used rustoleom plastic spray paint, it works well except on the rubbery pieces like the grab handles.

The cluster is a 99-02 denali cluster.

I mouted the harness to the seat brackets I made, at least until I get a roll cage. I used the stock seat belt bolt and a hole I drilled in the middle of the angle iron for the lap belt. I used 3/16" steel for the brackets and fully welded everything so it should do ok.

Only managed to finished setting up the ring and pinion on the 10b, and damn I forgot what a bitch setting up gears was.
