You have come a long ways! Its a very rewarding feeling when you look at what you started with, and then look at what you have in the end, which in your case will really be something special. I'm following along with great anticipation.

Top to Bottom, excellent work. I am an old member here, just had some time to reminisce. Buddy of mine has a 69 C10 383 and I personally have done a unique 6.5 TD conversion, seeing those two worlds collide here is something special. You did it right. Enjoy!

The above trucks are just freaking cool. One day I will add a 67-72 to the fleet. Maybe three!
Thank you. Be sure to post updates as you go.

IMO, 72 was last good looking chevy till the 400 rolled out. Maybe I owned so many 73/87 trucks over the years, that I don't appreciate them. Nice looking trucks OP and Leroy. That truck is on my bucket list to get probably after cj8 scrambler project.

I wired up the glow plugs, made a new harness. I wrapped the harness in a high temp sleeve. I also used push in clips to hold the harness to the injector line brackets. It came out pretty good. I hooked up a test battery and checked all the electrical. I got a code 29 and code 49 I didn't hook up the STL light. I hooked up the STL light and still got a code 29 and no WTS light. I bought a new glow plug relay and that fixed the code 29. I now only have codes 81/82/83 due to the computer being an automatic. Buddy is going to clear out those codes and the code 78 he is also going to tweak the VSS pulses. I also wrapped the starter wire in the same sleeve and finished that wiring. I made the turbo oil line and finally permanently mounted the turbo with new manifold gasket and oil drain tube gasket.
Would like to hear more details on the GP harness. Im going to need something for next project.
