Great job! Coming along nicely!
awesome work
yeah..looks good.
You, sir, have some mad skills! This is reflective from the lack of posts suggesting other (mine is better) options on how to do this build. Please follow through on the spread sheet and the wiring diagrams. I am especially interested with the cruise control, how the control panel is layer out. Who programmed your ECU? Did you have clearance problems with the oil pan and differential? Where did you source the transfer case rebuild kit? Thanks for all of the pics too! Oh, and are you having any cooling issues with the stock radiator?

Wish you were a neighbor so i could supply beer/pizza and hang out whenever you're performing these modifications. Would really love the opportunity to learn how to personally improve and update these vehicles.
The cruise control and stereo upgrades are great interior additions. Your skills in dashboard wiring are very impressive. Really enjoy your thread with pictures showing the improvements you make for reference. Goes without saying "A picture says a thousand words".
Regarding a couple of the updates/ issue's you noted earlier ....
1. Exhaust - how did you route the passenger side exhaust pipe over to have both mufflers on the drivers side ?
3. Front driveshaft - curious how much clearance between the pan and driveshaft and any pics available ?. (I have similar concerns when i hit a big bump on the road)
4. Injector issue - which injectors are you using (OEM, other ...) and source ?. I recently failed emissions and suspect injectors as it's running rich.
5. Engine knock - I have the same knock from my 5.3L motor and goes away when driven about 10 minutes. Seems to return when the engine cools down. Checked the pan and did not find any materials in it. Switched to using Mobil1 but the knock is still there.
I don't use my 62 frequently enough (weekend use mostly) in the manner you described to provide feedback regarding the transmission issues listed.
Keep up the great work
