Can't have to many!! You happen to notice the date code on the tires? Mine are from 2009 and look new but worried they might give out...be a slight comparison since you went so far...the guys yard in Chambersburg Pa told me a bunch try to tow home but the tires don't make it...I trailered mine...
That has a plunger on the end that gets pushed by a bar that is actuated by pulling back on the turn signal stalk...If you take off the lower dash cover you can see it easy...that is adjustable as well...you should hear an audible click when you do move it.
That's good...some LEDs don't dim but go out...I think the manufacturers have found that bulbs need to be used at lower voltage to dim and they've made them work that way now...they used to be very sensitive to low volts.

Nice! Do they dim or do they stay the same brightness then go out with the dimmer switch? Mine turned out to be the fuse connection...I have to clean all the internal contacts more...a new fuse helps too.
Dang, that looks like mine...it took a good while to replace all the rockers and floor but we've never done it before. Good thing is parts are not that expensive and a basic mig welder gets the job done nice. Sounds like it took a long commitment to get it too! Good luck on the project!
I found those at a surplus store north of Harrisburg Pa a few months ago...they had the positive and negative sizes and got 8...I think the were under 5$ each too...fit perfect.
Wait...dash lights are bright?? I'm sure they were designed to be as dull as possible to keep you guessing at how slow you're really going at night or what gear you're in or out of fuel...all of mine quit working the other day out of no where...typical. On a real note the switch on the column...
Looking at this pic again it seems like the ground wire was going over top of the rear battery side mount...now that you're replacing it you can run it under it so it won't chaffe on that again...48 might be a little long but that's not a big deal since there's plenty of room to tuck it around...
I don't see why not, that's what the slave is for...is there any way to just leave a small charger in there 2 or 6 amp just to keep it topped off...that really stresses the alt, battery and starter...and starter relay that likes to go nuts with low voltage.
My batteries are out of my blazer right now...from the best I can do with them still bolted down is 44 inches...that should be a good starting point...I got bulk cable ends and a press crimper to install the heavy round ends on them with some shrink wrap...could go a smidge longer and make them...
Looks great!! I'm not sure but some old cars used the high beam to ground the dash bulbs to light up...some LEDs let it through while some don't...I'm not sure if that's how these work, can't remember...on other points I put LEDs in my truck and everything works...who knows...shouldn't be that...
Gotta ask how to find your stuff....Pause...lol....nice....not easy to find...I don't see the parking brake pads....found the tow bar...maybe a trip up is best!!
That's no joke there about prep...it took a few tries to get the process right with the por15...bought a gallon of the soap and etching fluid from them...we had one set that he did and it completely pealed off in one big chunk...he was not happy...he sands and grinds them down to bare metal as...
He's at the Carlisle spring show if that helps the distance about 45 minutes...I know we're going...gotta keep the parts hoarding fest alive!

I got 8-9 mph shift changes with my adjustable modulator with 11 pounds set at the vrv....he moved the vrv with measuring the vacuum at the wrong end of the vrv so it is unkown what he's got at the modulator now...I'd bet the guys that rebuilt it adjusted the mod to get the shift it needed with...
We searched a few local guys that hoard gm parts...this guy is near Chambersburg right off 81 south of Carlilse...he has acres of trucks and parts...I think I counted 18 cabs and countless trucks, suburbans and blazers...has a huge pole barn filled with picked parts too and dozens of trailers...
Dang...at least you got them in the right spot now...is the vacuum regulator all the way forward?...all the way back gives it more vacuum so it'll shift later forward is less vacuum so it'll shift sooner...the trans should be set at 11 on the top vacuum line...it could be getting to much vacuum...
Crap I wrote it wrong...vacuum should be bottom and trans is top...swap them it'll work then...Oh and I set mine at 11 on the top hose at idle...shifts great.
