CHEVY TRUCK INSTALL CONTINUED. . . . . .

Reinstall the dash assembly and bolt it solid along the windshield base and sides.  connect the heater cables.  Drill and install the electrical junction box, brake booster bracket and brake booster, wiper arms and motor.  Install the instrument cluster, seats and seat belts and we recommend our fiberglass repro dash which should last a lifetime.  Plug in the wiring harness route and tie-wrap it to the firewall.  Be sure to keep it clear of the exhaust.  Before going further - make certain to ground EVERYTHING - including the blower and wiper motors.
Overall Assembly To secure the radiator  - cut out the center section of the original support.  Measure the distance between the light  support panels on the new glass front end and cut the steel core support to be about 1/2" narrower.
Paint and install the newly modified core support with the original rubber mounts.  To support the top measure out some 3/4" tubing - flatten the ends - and attach it from the top of the core support to the top of the firewall.
FOR CONVERTIBLE MODELS the next step is to hang the roof.  Once in place, firewall braces need to be manufactured to prevent the firewall and cowl areas from shifting.  Once these braces are in place the cab should remain stationary.
