the blue piece is a 5/8 billet draw straw from vulcan performance. its made to fit the 94-02 trucks but it worked fine in my 92 tank.

another small update...

I ordered some parts over the last week and they are slowly trickling in:

Posi-lok 4wd disconnect cable (gets rid of the pos vacuum valve)
2" body lift kit - instead of the 3" i was gonna install
brand new sanden a/c compressor
brand new silla a/c condensor
gap guards for the bed
4 new door handles for the outside of the truck
new aluminum 3 core radiator

i hope to get the front clip assembled this week so i can install the engine harness and get it running! i just have to sandblast the hood hinges and everything is ready to bolt together.

Beautiful job! Mine has been done over 3 years now, and I WOULD NOT trade it for a brand new one!

thanks, as much blood and sweat this thing has taken from me i think it will have to hang around for awhile. unless somebody just wants it way more than me and has some money to back it up.

If you googled his zip code, you'd find he hails from Lakeland, Florida, a couple of hours north of me.
