Those plugs on the transmission are for the gear position. Park/neutral safety, reverse lights, 1-4th indicator, nothing to do with the engine harness or management.

You will wire that to the original 80 body harness to make everything in the 80 work. A plug and play solution for this is on my list but is way down there.
Thank you for the verification.

I just realized that’s a pic from under my truck🤣

I saw the trailblazer cable and was about to ask how the shift cable adjustment went for you. Lol
 
@cruisermatt's verification and I called PSI helped a lot. I also bought, something that I don't know the name of because I don't have it in front of me, that might help with the VSS and reverse lights. . . 🤞🏽
 
I saw the trailblazer cable
But speaking of the cable, which position is park? The shift arm has been moved so many times, Im not sure what position the transmission is actually in 🤷🏽‍♂️
 
Been gone for almost a month, but things didn't stop moving. @NCTrey133 (previous owner of Sweet Brown), picked up the 80 because he's going to build a tray for me.

Sweeet! How do you have so many friends!?!?

Edit: how do you have so many friends willing to help you make your cruiser better!!???
A few reasons. Because I ain't too proud to beg. . . And it's racist if they tell me no 🤣

LMAO!!!

Do any drunk ordering lately? If you need, I accidentally bought 28 alternator bracket bolts the other day. So I got you. Free of charge. 🤣🤣

Thanks.

Lol, I've been drinking but not buying. I have my eye on a few things but the price isn't right yet. I also haven't seen @NCTrey133s invoice yet 😅.
 
I'll hit you all with a photo bomb tomorrow evening, but took the advice of @thatcabledude and got the other water pump. Now I have to buy a new thermostat because the water pump I had is a different size.

This weekend was a lot of standing around, holding, and moving heavy ass steel. I was invited by @NCTrey133 to come over to the "12thstatetrey" HQ where my tray is being built.

Here's what's been happening:

White Horse sitting there all sad and stupid looking dumb.

So @NCTrey133 mocks up a saddle on her.

Now s***s about to get real.

A little bit of a later start today. While @NCTrey133 was getting measurements and looking to make sure all was lining up, I was messing around in the front of the LC.

@SFROMAN put me on some epoxy for the backing of the fender holes prior to Bondo, so I did that. Attached the radiator hoses to the new water pump, attached the AC hoses, and started to get an idea of how the intakes hoses will be routed.

Trying to do all the little things I can prior to leave and not having it sitting in storage, I pot the grille and headlights on. Still need to get a wiring harness for the headlights and not 100% sure I'll used these lights.

IMO this Trey is ***in sic. I've seen in person the previous tray Trey made on Sweet Brown, but seeing him in action, the attention to detail, pride in his welds, and insuring the customer is happy is beyond reproach.

I commented on trey's post on ig saying this, but I'll say it again here. I'm a big fan of this design, seriously love it.

Will it bolt on and off of the frame?
 
Last night I made an Instagram. I need to become part of the modern world, but don't know what direction I want to go with it.

My Instagram is. . . "Token.White" 🤣
I don't think I'll post any of "me", just the LCs and maybe places I've been around the world 🌍
 
This is the last thing I accomplished with the time I had before leaving.

All fluids have been static (excluding coolant) and the power steering pump is leaking. Possibly got bumped when installing the engine. A problem for another day.

I still need to add power from starter to batter, coolant overflow tank, all interior wiring (to ignition, fuel pump, t-case, ecu. . )

Might add pictures of the tray later next week.
 
Lookin great, man!!! Hope you are planning on keeping the steelies. Really dig the way they look. :beer:
