    I need to see some wire tucked trucks!:D post up some pics and all tips and tricks are very much appreciated!:cool:

    I just bought a bone stock all original 86 with the plans to make a daily driven show quality truck, and a wire tuck is necessary! Low, fast (well as fast as a built 22r can be:ROFL:) and simple are going to be what it's all about:waytogo:

    With the right combination of parts that truck can be pretty quick. No, not fast but it can get out of its own way especially in the twisties. :D

    Its guna take some creativity. Since the newer trucks have more crap on the inner fender areas you might have to relocate some of that stuff. Headlight and turn signal wiring can be moved to the underside of the fender.

    No wires, or very few, in the engine bay.. Like no big harnesses showing on the fender wells.

    Makes the bay look really clean!

    I'm quite aware of this! Already have a plan for the one I'm building. Keith black pistons, bigger valves, lots of port work, stage 2 or stage 3 crower cam, and a weber 38.. Compared to the one in my 77 I built, it should be pretty quick, maybe even quick enough to call it a fast 22r:ROFL:

    Thankfully I don't have to do emissions testing, so no egr stuff is needed. The only different stuff compared to my 77 I have to deal with is the A/C and power steering stuff. Otherwise I'm not worried about dealing with wiring..

    I really want to see some pics of people's trucks who have done it!

    If you have no emissions throw in a weber while your at it.
