Well thanks to not putting in the emergency brake and the hills around here and a few rocks in the main road, my frame has been totally f*****, we got it out from under the truck and the thing looks like a twisted pretzel...We got a new frame and are in the process of putting it all back together, had a few scares, specially with the Cab, tht was a dozy getting off and back onto the new frame, almost lost it a few times...We almost had the motor out of the engine bay, only had around 6 inches left to lift and the chain jumped and the engine feel 2 ft back into the engine bay, it dinged up the radiator and poked a hole in the positive battery cable, and kinda banged up my thumb but other then tht all was good, we got the chain back on it and all went well after tht. Probably have it all back together by the end of the month weather permitting. I will post pics on my Cardomain profile and post them here when the project is finished. Getting a new exhaust for it while everything is apart, getting a FlowTech tht exits before the passenger side tire. I'll keep u posted and by the way if anyone has any pics of how the wiring goes back on a 1990 Chevy Silverado Standard Cab, plz post, im got pics but i am still having trouble figuring out where some of the wire holders go.

I'm doing the same thing. I left the harness on the cab and labelled each plug, hopefully it goes back together right. Anyways good luck.

Well i got everything back together finally this morning, cept put the exhaust back on (ended up with a Flowmaster 70 series), only prob i have noticed is tht none of my interior lights or pakring lights/headlights work, nor does the radio...the hazard lights and everything else works, just not the ones i mentioned. All the fuses are good, and the wiring looks good, i cnt find the problem :mad:

Hot damn,found out all tht was wrong with the wires was the Fuse Link came lose (dad found it). Lights all work, got exhaust on (sounds good even thou its not loud) and all we got left is to bleed the brakes (take like 5 min)! Then out another $100 + in the tank and she'll be back on the road by Wed. I will upload my pics to CarDomain sometime this week if I get a chance, then I'll copy em over to here for yall to see!
