    Body Off

    The AC is in the oem location, bought the mounts from, LSSimple, price has gone up $100. I would have like to get an L47 air box from a 97 diesel 6.5 with the round filter, but could not find one.

    Body Off

    Update, body is back on. Hopefully starting it tomorrow, weather permitting. Took a long time to get the harness back from Performance Wiring. I put the fan relays in the tool box. I still need to do the gas pedal. I will start it with the pedal not mounted. I used a 1995 turbo diesel 6.5 air box.
