Thanks Jeff. I'll steal it some time for a car guy lunch this summer, so you can get a look at it. OR I'll have it at my place in a couple weeks doing the wires. You could swing by and enjoy a beverage or 3...

Can anyone tell me, if the 2005 AC compressor with work with the 1995 AC system? I am looking at a high mount kit, and wondered if the compressor would work. I think the belt width is to narrow on the 05 compressor.

I hope we get it done soon too! Yes doing the harness our selves. Adds a nice one off apeal, and we can intigrate it to the truck.

We have the bed removed, engine and trans all out, and she is ready to be prepped for the new power train. I'll upload some pictures, that truck sure is clean! No rust even starting.... wish it was mine and not dad's!

I like this one, you can see the 5.7 cowering in fear in the back ground.
