Today I picked up some sheet metal for the Tahoe. I need to change the silver to the correct color, but the green should match correctly. Pretty much no rust, and what little rust there is will be an easy touch-up. The green isn’t in perfect condition, but I’m hoping I can touch it up with a...

Today I made brackets to adapt an AD244 alternator to the truck. To make it easier I did the work on a mockup engine rather than on the truck - made it a ton easier to see what was needed. The top bracket was the easy part, I just needed to make a simple offset strap. The bottom bracket to...

Last 2 wires: Gray/Black is 4 Low out and Brown is switched 12V in to the front axle actuator. I probably won’t use 4 Low out in my applications and 12V switched is easy. Lots cheaper route than this! https://dmaxswap.com/product/electric-shift-transfer-case-standalone-harness/

Oh yeah, I definitely plan to.

Before someone calls me out, I just remembered there are 2 more wires I forgot about because they’re in a plug, not loose like the others. Now I don’t remember what they were. I’ll try to remember to look when I go back out to the barn tomorrow.

Not really what I should have been working on right now, but I took a couple hours and separated the transfer case wiring from the underdash harness. I was able to pull it out without a wiring diagram, but the next day I found the diagram on Autozone’s site and with that I was able to figure out...

Oh yes…..there will be burnouts. 😎

I went to the junkyard today and grabbed some more parts to add to the pile of stuff to go onto this ride to make it better. I got an NP263 HD from a 2002 Chevy 2500HD. I also grabbed the TCCM, dash switch and the dash harness all the way to the underhood fusebox. My plan is to tease out the...

Console was a success last weekend. It was so nice having the cupholders and extra storage during our little roadtrip. I have decided to move it back 3” though. That extra distance between the front and back console will be nice for putting a cooler or some other kind of bin. That also moves...

I was doing some cleaning of the interior and thought this was a neat shot showing the continuity from front to rear with the new console.

That is a funny color in that picture.... no, that's just dirt and rust.

Got some parts at the junkyard today to add to the pile of stuff to go ok this Tahoe. I went there for the 6 lug 14 bolt and a battery tray. The visor was a bonus….not sure if I’ll use it, but couldn’t pass it up, especially since they only charged me $35! And then grabbed the 88-94 cupholders...

I just noticed a mounting detail pic I forgot to share.

Thanks! Yeah, exactly what I was thinking - with the ash tray removed it’s easier to trim it out. On the other hand, it does feel more trick having the ash tray there. I’ll let it marinate for a bit.

This week I added a little sumpin’ sumpin’ for my back seat passengers to add to their travel comfort and enjoyment. Any time Kelli’s kids road in the back seats, I felt bad they didn’t have a good place to put their drinks or other little things they had with them. The cupholder in the back of...

Yeah, I had an assortment of blades so I could cut through just one layer or both the inner and outer layers at once. I remember the biggest struggle being the dogleg, but I eventually persevered.

You thinking something like this? At Detroit Autorama today.

Yeah, a cordless Makita sawzall and a bunch if blades.

I was originally going to just build the engine so it took full advantage of what the 2300 is capable of, but now I'm planning on having the LSA supercharger I have ported. I should still be able to achieve 700 horse at the wheels.
