That wire for the relay, should be any HOT WIRE once the ignition is turned on, or you could be meaning the wire that rurns the relay on to activate the fans, this one should go to your block fan switch. UMM, what is it called, the thermostat. Either way the truck is really coming along great, keep it up!!!!!!!!

Re: New member new Project
 

Thanks, I called Painless today and got it straightened out

Re: New member new Project
 

Looking good! Any way I can get a better pic of where you cut the inside of the cab for the trailing arm crossmember? Keep up the progress!

Re: New member new Project
 

Cool project!

Re: New member new Project
 

Gracias Amigos...

Tony, it is not a trailing arm setup, it is four link, all I had to cut the cab floor for was the trans support crossmember and the yoke coming out of the trans.

Got it ready to fire but I still need the stuff to convert my oil pressure sender so I can read oil pressure. Hope to get that stuff Wed or Thurs. I don't want to start it if I can't see oil pressure.

She's a little tight there at the #8 coil.

Shot of the '72 next to my "daily"

Got lucky and scored at the salvage yard, found a nice high profile tranny cover out of a '70 blazer, complete with bullet holes.

Re: New member new Project
 

nice! are you leaving the bullet holes for style points? hahaha

Re: New member new Project
 

That bumper looks good on the pavement! Did you lower the bumper mounts down 3/4 for the body drop, or is it still stock and just the sheetmetal went down? Also did your cab have a pinch weld on the bottom? If so did you remove it? I lowered my cab mounts and the pinch weld is now holding my frame up off the ground about a half inch. Very nice build I will slowly be to the point you are! And I wish I would have gone LS motor. I'll be running a 94 LT1. Very nice!

Re: New member new Project
 

i really like that tire size what tire size are u running if you dont mind me asking

Re: New member new Project
 

love this build, cant wait to see more

Re: New member new Project
 

Thanks "Dudes"!

Yes I did lower the bumber .75" also to match the rest of the body drop.

Tires are Nitto Extreme ZR 245/45ZR 18

Got floor insulation, mat, and seat in ... have gone on a couple short cruises.

This thing is a "Beast"!

Found a very talented kid( a rotulista, which is a logo painter) to help me get that old beater "shop truck" look.He did a killer job on my doors! I got my inspiration from Robby Acevedo with the Pacific Coast Customs shop truck project.

Tomorrow I will get some pics out in the sun cruising the town.

Re: New member new Project
 

Awesome Logo!
He is good both sides match exactly
