Re: progress pics
A little update...got a new cab(the last one, I promise) and a little something to go with it:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3204/...88c5f8.jpg?v=0 http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3187/...76e707.jpg?v=0 Its a 68 cab. I picked up the whole truck cheap. The real reason I wanted it was for the 67/68 style front clip! Always loved that style. The cab was an added bonus. Its not perfect, but it is better than the other two cabs I had. I started a separate thread on the floor install here. |
Re: progress pics
Lookin good, i have been debating on one of those floors.

Re: progress pics
Nice! Hey hit me up sometime was wondering if you where still down to making those 4 link brackets that you used on your truck give me a price.
As you can see my build slowed down I changed my approach a little bit and I think this time around the BAG on bar setup will be perfect.:chevy: |
Re: progress pics
Any work yet on wether or not you can do those brackets for me and send me a price. THanks!
Sorry to be a bother...! |
Re: progress pics
no problem, I will send you a PM.

Cool, I just found your thread...
Nice looking cab for NY... That floor is pretty nice in the end, and easy to put in... I think if a guy is replacing mors than 3 or 4 pieces of his floor he is ahead to just do the onepiece... Does it also need other parts (kick panels, pillars etc?) I never put mine on the frame until I was done, fit perfectly... |
Re: progress pics
Updates??? Id be interested in a set of those 4 Link brackets as well, shoot me a PM.

Re: progress pics

Re: progress pics
got a chance today to get the truck out of the garage and snap some pics of where its at as of now.
OK, first, here is my dyno sheet: 371lbft of torque, 332 hp. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3565/...9bcf50.jpg?v=0 Engine and trans in. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3599/...8827edc3_b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2431/...d810df22_b.jpg Close up of serpentine setup http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2450/...4b252ffa_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3630/...9a659998_b.jpg Headers are Sanderson. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3589/...95ee2ec2_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3333/...d45bbbfb_b.jpg |
Re: progress pics
The next set of pics are the stainless air and brake lines. The airlines are complete except that I have to connect two lines from the takes to the valve manifolds.
This pic shows the lines going out to the bags. All lines are 1/4 inch. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3384/...cba1fcea_b.jpg Here is where the two airlines go around the notch. This is the same on both sides. One line is for the rear bag, and the other line is for the front bag. In this pic, you will also see the brake lines. Notice the line on the top round bar. I STOLE this idea from Scotts Hot rods. No more lines on the axle. Nice and clean. Thanks Scotts! Oh, I am using AN fittings here. A braided stainless line will connect to this fitting to the caliper. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2463/...f767f59c_b.jpg This is the other side. Sorry for the blurry pic. The clips are freakin awesome. They are from made4u. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3408/...b25dbcc9_b.jpg This is one of the rear bags. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2200/...cabf5f.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2467/...53e7e244_b.jpg |
Re: progress pics
Here you can see the brake line crossing from the driver side to pass. side
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3238/...bb79d74d_b.jpg air line on top, brake line on bottom... http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3355/...270d28d7_b.jpg This pic shows the Summit adjustable prop valve which is also a distribution block AND has a brake light switch. Nice little piece. You can also see the end of the air line. A braided stainless line from the front bag will connect here. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3383/...8e579b82_b.jpg Here is my temporary setup for getting air in the front bags. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3386/...578a891b_b.jpg Here is the soft line coming out of the crossmember. A little dusty in there! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3372/...cb64d7cf_b.jpg Here is where the front lines tee http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3610/...1b3ccc.jpg?v=0 top view of rear http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3315/...56dd6ec2_b.jpg Well, thats it boys. Let me know what you think. |

Re: progress pics
Wow, that's incredible looking. I really want to do hard on my truck. I bought some 3/8" line and fought with it until it looked horrible and then gave up. Your's turned out amazing have you done this much before?
|
Re: progress pics
nope, first time. I just take my time. Every one of those hard lines you see I did a first time with cheapo steel line as a template and after I had it perfect, just copied it in stainless. It took longer but I didnt screw up one piece of stainless.
