Stuck on Getting Truck Done !
Ok, I bought the truck this past winter, while I was on House Arrest, back in December, an I have been working on it since.. I had it running when I first got it BOTH of the GAS TANKS leaked but I had it running and driving but running roughsounded like the timing was off.. The motor has been re-built lately.. Well a daylater I found out that the FRAME was crack so. I held off oding anything else to the truck.. So I got off House Arrest then went to a junkyard and had a frame piece cut out ofr me an had my buddy that buils rock crawlers re-do my frame and weld it on and reinforce it..Put all New Front Fenders and DogHouse. Put a new Gas TANK in the rear and a new FUEL Pump.. Then tryed starting it and getting it running again after a couple of bills later.. Then it seems like I'm not getting enough FUEL to the LINES, or enough spark.. The wiring harness has been bypassed, and wires have been cut. So what do you ALL THANK ABOUT THAT ONE>> But I have been trting to get rid of all the **** that they bypassed and go back to FACTORY and buying a new wiring harness, igntion module and voltage regulator, an get a COULMN out of a JUNKYARD some where.. I would apperciate all your GUYS help..

X2!!!!
altough I would advise getting a painless wiring harness if your wiring is all cut up or brittle...just personal experience.
