1950 Chevy Five Window Progress Update 03/27/2017

March 27, 2017 1950 Chevy Truck, Banner

We are making a little more progress on the 50. We got the LS harness all installed and mounted the computer under the passenger seat. We also mounted the fuse box behind the passenger seat and will route all of the wiring under the truck and back up inside the front wheel well to get up to the dash.

We have all of the A/C lines completed and unit installed under the dash. Now we have to do duct work and wiring.

The truck is now on the lift up in the air to complete the wiring and driveshaft install.
