Exact purpose of this truck, something the whole family can enjoy and cruise in. With 4 kids the 4runners couldn’t fit everyone, and getting a 67-72 blazer wouldn’t work. I lucked out and this 78 fell into my lap. Still a lot to do and it’s a driver over show, but still a lot of fun.
Yeah I had the entire truck harness replaced with a painless kit. All new wires and all labeled perfectly, also pre set up for radio, Dakota digital gauges, and electric fans.
The engine runs on the Fi-Tech harnes which though a little long is very clean.
Brought her home today, taking her back tomorrow. Temp got a little high and electric fans aren’t both cutting on. Also needs an alignment bad. Was nice to drive get pictures and clean it up a bit. So much work to do. Also needs a good tune.
It’s getting there. Cool family vehicle has been my goal from the start. Originally wasn’t going to drop it, but issues with the brake manufacturer lead to me ending up getting drop spindles. Then the rest fell into place.

Exhaust turned out great, and was a much nicer drive back to the shop. Unfortunately, the high rise FI-Tech intake is pulling oil out the breather ports, so now we add a catch can. Road and drove pretty great. Still some adjustments to be made.
Drove it with out exhaust to the muffler shop. My 3500 is getting doors painted, so I couldn’t to it. Hard to tell how it drives when the noise past 2500 rpm’s feels like it’s damaging my ears.
Beautiful truck though. Can’t wait to get the interior caught up.
