i ordered a new glow plug harness so the

the wiring from the fuse block only goes to the starter, glow plug relay, temp switch, FSS,
i also have updated gauges, so the oil and engine temp are ran independently.
i know im missing something, but im not at that stage yet.

getting ready for this weekends festivities so work on the truck is on hold till monday

Thanks for the info! I appreciate it! I plan on updating as much wiring and harnesses as I can. I've seen to many fires cus of that stuff...

I love the 6 doors. Did you shorten the bed or extend the frame to get them all on there?

Sure looks like it... what's wrong with doing that? Seems like a much better idea, to be honest - now he's got a place to slide on a boot and clamp it.
