Congrats, don't know the condition it was in when you started, but it sure looks nice now. Great job. Have fun.
Thanks. There is a separate group of three wires (white/purple/gray) which I think are for the wipers. Not sure which is which yet, but when I...
For my project truck, I have what I believe is a mid 80s S-10 steering column. It's a tilt column with automatic shifter and a multi-function arm...
It's off to a good start. You should ask the shop to take pictures for you and e-mail them to you every week or so. That way you'll get to keep...

Will do. It ended up being quite the engineering feat to get the outside and inside handles to work and still clear the window track. When I get...
As far as I know, no ready made patch panels are available for that. I made my own by cutting and forming some sheet metal. I am sure with the...
