Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Nothing else get a non intercooled VE and swap it to p-pump. they have the better pistons to play with any way. A 24v is hard to beat once it's swapped too. :lol:

Non intercooled 1st gens have a little more valve lift outta their cam also, don't they?

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Today I took the body guy more paint and picked up my seat. He had a couple other things painted for me. The radiator support, hood latch, and hood guide plate. I guess it is progress. :lol:

I did get the RH door lock installed and it works! Now it is getting time to install door panels. Does anyone else think a layer of plastic or some thing will help eliminate road noise and stuff? |

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
the tar/bitumen based roofingstuff will stink up a storm when the truck sits in the sun the real dampningmat like brown stuff and dynamat has less smell and is more resistant against heat in general , you could just put clearcoat on the back of the doorcards that should seal them up just fine

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
The inside of my doors already has a coating on them. I am more interested in keeping cold air and dust from entering the cab via the doors. I might put some insulation in there I have around. I'll post pics if I do it.

I forgot to add my new to me clutch showed up yesterday. We carried in my steel bed floor and my buddy Mathew cut it to get ready to extend it so we can get the bed assembly started. Pics later.

Man I had not checked in in a while, Truck is looking great.
before too long you should be driving it. It is going to be a one of a kind for sure. Sadly looking like it will be probably a year and a half before I get to get my 72 cummins project going again. |

Have you tried any of the Hamilton cams? The street one seemed appealing to me for having a rowdy DD and be able to pull the world. |

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Here are pics of the bed work beginning.

So that makes me think that the Longhorn bed mounting holes are spaced differently than the standard 8' beds. I always assumed the rear half would be the same. I was wrong. :lol: |

Steel bed longhorn cool.
