Little ticket items add up to a big ticket quick...

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Are you keeping that flex fan on there? Nice progress on the batteries and cables. Looks really nice.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Thanks! But no, we just had it laying around back when we did the motor so we threw it on not knowing the direction we'd go. But we have since decided to run a clutched mechanical fan.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Good choice! :lol:

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

this look like a sweet build! keep up the good work!

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Thanks! I have gotten a little more sand blasting done but forgot my camera... :banghead: so no new pics. but i was looking back through pics on my computer and found this pic. It's old but without the cab on the frame in 6 months I forgot how big this sucker is gonna be... :lol: I don't believe i've posted it before....

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

It doesn't look like it will fit out of the garage. The roof looks like it is at the same height as the door opener.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

I have thought the same thing looking at some of the pics...!?!

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Crap... We didn't even think about that!! We will probably have to cut the top off to get it in and out... Darn those city folk garages....

Nah, once we get the cab back we will take it to another buddies shop to do the cage and mount the cab.

awesome build :metal:

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Thanks! It just takes time... And lots of it! Haha

And we actually made those, but used a tierod from a sprint car as the tensioner.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Had to.. :lol:

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Super Sick Build. Cant wait to see it when its done.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Awesome build! Great craftsmanship!

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

this things gonna be an F-ing monster

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

We've been working on the rad mount a little. Sectioned a few feet of 3"x1/8" sq. tubing to make a top/bottom channel and used 1/4" and 3/4" strips of rubber as isolators. Tacked it all in place, ran the tranny cooler lines, and then pulled it off to weld up.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Bolted the mount back in to work on a shroud next...

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Question; How many holes in all:lol: anyways, fu**in sweet build,and that thin is goin to be a beast! the only thing thats gonna suck is that if you want to change a battery out or if one goes dead, ur gonna have to rip the whole bed off, unless you installed a plate that pulls off form the bed floor? just an idea to ponder about. what are your plans for the interior, especiallly in the ext> cab part. Sweet stereo, or what? ill tell yah one thing though, after goin muddin its going to be a ***** to get all the mud out from those holes:lol:

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

God damn this thing is sweet..

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

killer build

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

very nice

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

I was looking at your fan and radiator... I know you are building a custom shroud, but have you considered a high mount water pump? There is a C60 sitting at work with a 454 that has this style pump on it since the radiator sits so high in the truck and the engine sits so low. Might be something to look at
