I see you used the under-hood fusible-link box from an FC. I want to use one on my REPU as well for power distribution for major loads. What did you use for connectors? I measure them as 8mm wide, and I haven't been able to find any spade terminals that size.

Also, did you give any consideration to the fact that it uses fusible links instead of fuses? Or did you manage to find actual fuses that plug into it?

I found the yellow spade and closed connectors for my 2nd gen fuse box at NAPA. I'll get the number from the package when I get home.

Ahhahahahahahah that was funny.....I am saving up for the wood and chrome/polished spacers for it. Just got the new mufflers in and I will drop the truck off this weekend to get them installed. After I recover from that, I will be in full wood bed saving mode!

That's the same ones I used but I bought them from advanced. Autozone also carries them. I ripped off the yellow part. Crimped them, soddered it and shrink wrapped the wire. So far so good.

I found fuses for it at autozone. Mainly used 20amp fuses with the exception of the main. I have a wire diagram that I made for the fuse boxes. If you need it, post ur e-mail and I can send it to you.

didn't like the way the Rota's looked on the truck. wanted a something a little more "old school". Found some BBS RS and had them powder coated white. i wanted that skateboard look and i got it. really really happy with the outcome. here is a pic of the truck with the new wheels. its a little high because i took this pic before driving her around, nonetheless, i think i am going to lower the front a bit. enjoy.

Thanks. I loved the look of the original wheels that the truck came with and i honestly tried to get that with the blue wheels but FAILED big time!!!!!! Luckly for my wallet, the second set of wheels worked.

Got an FD that i will sell you

I second that. Those look really nice. Love the way this turned out. Going to bring it to DGRR?

Can't make your meet next month. You picked the sametri date again that is the birthday for my sister and brother in law's triplets. They are turning three. Won't that be fun?

Really looks like crap Simon, total crap. Of course that is sarcasm as I love the truck. Very very nice my friend. Wish I could have been there but I was in Tampa for my sister and brother in law's triplets 3rd birthday party. Guess who had more fun? The answer is not me
