Welders series out of Canada has been good to order from. They probably have what you need.

I stumbled upon a couple other sources, seems the 4x4 guys have quite a good selection of tabs, bar stock, link bars, etc.

Check out ruff stuff and ballistic fab

Scott, I'm going to have to write you up for failure to include pictures with an intriguing post...:wop: What is this "toy"?

scotts62 02-20-2013 07:16 AM

Re: project 62
 
:lol: yeah i got kind of picture lazy and it seems my slow progress has lost quite a bit of thread interest including my own :lol:

Building a tube bender, we'll see how it all turnes out

Re: project 62
 
Hmmm a tube bender eh.. Sounds like fun, I may need some bending in the future. Most of us get a little stagnant on the progress in the real world. Dang families, wives getting pregnant :crazy:and those dang employers expecting us to show up and do stuff:uhmk: Later

Re: project 62
 
Well i got a thought by looking at them like this and figured i could make it look a little cleaner than zip ties to frames that i have seen rolling around here :lol:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=18887

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=18888

Made a manifold to cut down on all the lines
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=18893

Not Completed but you get the idea
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=18896

Also mocked up the radiator and air cleaner so that i can fit it all under the hood and build a core support

Got ahold of a complete 6.0 that pushed out a cam bearing (apparently not uncommon for) Checked the block and it was not hurt so im going to use a dab of Loctite on some durabonds and go with it. My helpers lending a hand tearing it down.

Thanks Mike, thanks again for the help with the tank!

scotts62 12-22-2013 03:08 PM

Re: project 62
 
Used some plastic line around the shop and hooked air up to try the valves out just using the fancy way of touching wires together but it worked :lol:

Going to run stainless line to everything later.

Cool!! Progress no matter which way you look at it.

Re: project 62
 
I always liked the SMC diaphragm valves and the box should keep it all neat. Much faster than the fancy stuff but quite a bit of plumbing. Make sure to keep moisture out of them when it's cold outside. One truck I had with those mounted under the bed would freeze/stick when below freezing because it didn't have a water seperator. Several times I had to wait for the exhaust to warm up the tank and valves to work properly. Sold it before I fixed that problem. Not the smartest thing to drive in the snow anyways...

I have a couple driers/filter and a separator that is going before the tank and another after it to the valve box as you could say so i think that part will be ok. And as far as freezing up i dont think it will do that in the garage during the winter :lol:

Nice work Scott. I'm looking forward to the custom core support coming together.
