Thumbs up It moves!!

Finished my EZ wiring today, added gas and battery, and it fired right away, after a couple of years of working ( off and on) it was a beautiful sound! Could not resist a quick spin around the block! Everything seemed to work as it was meant to. A long way to go but, I,m a little more motivatred again. I took a few pictures and tried to create a gallery-hope it worked. I have more luck with a wrench than a camera!

Pics in the gallery look great. My EZ wiring kit should be here by Wednesday. That little drive keeps the creative juices flowing on a project!

Later,Bill

Thanks for the words of support, That's what the forum is about! - Monte my EZ wiring kit was bought from a supplier in Canada as I hang my hat in Saskatchewan. I thought the kit was straight forward, and had no problems with the wiring, at first thought the directions were a little lacking, but after reading several times before I started, it fell into place quickly, as the wires are clearly marked. The only change I made was substituting the fusible link supplied in the kit for a 60 amp maxi fuse mounted on the firewall. Used Dolphin guages and they installed well.

Alan,

That is awesome!! I know how it feels to actually sit behind the wheel and have the truck move under its own power!!
You have a gorgeous truck!! Nice job on it!
I'll probably be using the wiring harness on my 49, glad to hear that it works well
Bobby
