Finally got around last week to installing some of GRM's favorite Barrina LED lights. I put up the same lights in my shop in SC but man what a difference do these make and what a difference good light does for motivating you to actually work on your projects. I also unloaded all of my metal that has been sitting in the bed of the truck since mid-June and it is no longer squatted like a 25 year old Carolina Tahoe.
The third bay will get lights eventually once the truck moves under it's own power next spring.
Looks great with the added lights. I had been thinking about this lately and wondering how it's going! Feel you on the cold, lately..
Always happy to see this at the top. So what's the status of the truck? Or the plans you have for it?
Wiring and fuse panel needs to be cleaned up and redone. I have a lower rad support/front lower cross member to weld in that will pull the radiator forward and more upright so I can fit an actual fan shroud. I've also been thinking about ordering a LS7 flywheel and pressure plate, I hate this South Bend Stage 2 pressure plate in the truck right now engages. The pedal is so heavy and engagement is such a small window with the 6 puck clutch.
In reply to RacetruckRon :
I know it's a couple bucks more than an LS7 setup, but I'd recommend taking a look at the McLeod RST. I absolutely love the one in my C5. Light pedal pressure, super easy engagement, and it takes all the power.

I've heard great things about that clutch. My trouble is the CD009 with its stupid 24 spline input shaft really limits my clutch choices. If I could go back 5 years I would just shell out for a T56.
In reply to RacetruckRon :
Ohh, right. Which disc do you use with the LS7 flywheel and pressure plate then?
In reply to obsolete :
This is the ACT puck style clutch I have currently, it's what came with my adapter kit and it's what I was planning to use with an LS7 setup. Link
Fabbot offers something similar and claims there's "drives just like stock" so I'm wondering if my really heavy pedal is coming from this uprated South Bend pressure plate. I can handle the aggressive bite of the ceramic disk but the +70lb clutch press makes that bite really hard to control.
