How good does it run? How hard to install? I have been looking at them on Jegs and waiting for someone else to review them.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Had a good friend over till after 2pm today. So I went back down to the garage to make up the 1/4" front brake pipes and then the 3/16" rear pieces.
The more you do, the easier it gets. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psncflq99u.jpg Then had to start the bending, and copying the old brake pipes. I am very pleased with the way it has come out. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psctrwtnug.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psmm9s76ut.jpg Looking down from the top, so much better than the units removed. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psbhjregeq.jpg Outside the cold and darkness around the garage door side chased me indoors, so I will finish off the front lines in the morning. |

You are doing a great job Rian. Very nice on the bending!

Drove the mule about 280 miles today, round trip from my place to Baton Rouge to meet up with truck guys for breakfast. The mule never missed a beat and temps held at 185 even doing 75-80 (at times) with a 3.73 rear.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
So got up and out late, and started bending, copying and shaping the new pipes, using the old ones as a sample.
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psz7aesytx.jpg Finger tightened all the ends as I made them up. The pipes can be shaped once the engine, gearbox, inner fenders etc are all back in. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psdqgq5tw4.jpg Once all that was done, the last part was done using a rattle can to shape the spirals. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps2mjlvimo.jpg Final pic. Whatcha think ? Yes, I am very pleased with the results at this point. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps09kl4zoj.jpg |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I actually did something to my truck other than moving out of the way...
I pulled the stuff that was "stored" in the interior to get a feel for what I need to get done on the floors to make it road worthy without doing the complete rust repair at this time. Not to bad, but will take some time. I also found my bench seat adjusters/mounts that I will fit to a bench seat out of a '77 C20 that I have. Not much, but felt good to give it some attention. |
