Alan; the ones that I have measure 17 1/4" on the top 1/2 and about 14" on the bottom 1/2.
do you want a picture of them?

:metal: Great shots of some nice hardware, Alan. Nice Man-Jewelry!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan, A custom tank is looking like the best way to go.. I like the size you have chosen. Any idea how many gallons that holds ??

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks Ron, for the help. I faxed the deminsions over to DaveBoyd and ordered my tank. He said it should be done in 7-10 days. I just hope it fits. It's scary ordering something special order. Afraid I might have overlooked something.

:thumbs:

Still driving myself crazy on the fuel line. I did discover a manual fuel pump that has pipe threads for the inlet and outlet. Link to Summit's PN SUM 250020-1

This will fix my AN problems at the pump. I can get a 90* pipe to AN to go up to the carb.

What about thoughts of a 1"spacer under the carb to raise the line up to clear the heater hose connection? Still thinking..........

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan that is the same pump that I'm running. Mines the 110GH though. It's made by edelbrock and says it on there.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I finally got some stuff on order. Come-on Big Brown truck. :lol:

Had a nice little snow here. It's not much compared to what some get, but it made for a great photo day. Here is the LINK to some pics I shot today.

Here is a teaser shot

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Great pictures. Today the family had a snow ball fight for the first time since moving to Georgia. My bulldog didn't know what to make of the white stuff but she played more than the kids did.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Sounds like ya'll had just as much fun as we did.

Looking for some painted bumpers front/rear for a 65 fleet. I've searched a couple places (websites). The only repops I can find are chrome. Perfer local pickup, but here is my zip just in case 30107.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

lmc has primer bumpers in thier catalog, 38-9481, $99.99 rear 63-66 fleet, and 38-9453,$99.95 primer bumper front 63-66.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

That dust boot looks like the one I should have tomorrow from Jeff. I think that one is slips over the end of the MC. Not sure, but it might work.

To me, your headers look just like the Flowtech ones.

We got snow here on Thursday night and Friday morning. I had 7 inches at my house. I do not know when we had that much before. It is rare in East Texas...Kids got out of school and work shut down, so we had some fun and threw snowballs too.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan, Just saw this in another thread...Look at post #416 in this thread:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...200082&page=17

I looks like the same carb/fuel line you are using. Looks like his cleared that water outlet fitting...

Hope this helps you...

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

The angle of that boot is throwing me off. I ordered another from truckandcarshop.com among other things.

The snow was cool while it lasted.

Thanks for the link. I checked it out real quick at lunch. His water fitting is a long one. That would diffenately help. I'm going to check it out some more.

Fed-Up showed up today with some parts from Summitt.

This piece came from CPP Thanks Jeff

More parts on the way.:metal:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Had to go see if the radiator would fit. It's sitting on a 3/4" piece of wood. It fits in the hole. I plan on using the 67-72 truck radiator saddles and top hold downs.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02078.jpg

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02079.jpg

It fills the hole up really nice.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02081.jpg

Didn't stay out there long. This is the temp inside the shop. ;)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan where did the radiator come from?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

alan the 67-72 top saddles work good
thats what i used on my griffin radiator

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

looks good and thanks for the PN. I'm still trying to figure out what I want.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

:thumbs: It drives me crazy trying to figure out what to order.

Oh......I also ordered the coated Hooker Headers you recommended.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Good you will really like the fit. Only thing I dont like is the left hooker is a little close to the oil filter

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan glad to see you making progress. Love the new parts, can't wait to see how the 67-72 truck radiator saddles and hold downs turn out.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan is that the same radiator that we saw in the store? It looks like it fits really well.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Now you tell me. :haha: I remember you saying something about that in the past. ;)

Thanks Ronnie, it's supposed to be in the 60's this weekend. I'll try to make some progress, but still holding on some parts. Trying to locate some saddles. Sokyclassics.com is the best price so far $45.

http://sokyclassics.com/thumbs/RR6772.jpg

Yes it is.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

:metal: Really nice hardware, Alan.

Are you going to use an anode in that radiator, or is the aluminum going to be a problem with the engine's block material?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Don't know, Kid. Talking out my butt - last custom aluminum radiator maker I had quote one for my 65' Tan truck said if I went that way I should put an anode (zink I think) where the normal radiator petcock is located, because of the difference in the materials.

Again, I'm guessing - maybe the special juice is enough (?)

Mac. :smoke:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Here you go, My Friend. May be hype - I don't know.

http://www.flex-a-lite.com/auto/html/anode.html

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Another little bit of supposed information:

(When running an aluminum radiator or any aluminum parts in contact with the water jacket, make sure to run a sacrificial anode (usually zinc) to prevent the electro-displacement of the aluminum. This will save the aluminum parts, in short.)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Readiator looks good in there Alan.

Good catch Mac. I didn't know that. I guess I need to get one for mine.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Allan it's looking great. Good info Mac. I never thought of that. We have an anode in our Toy Hauler's water heater. It wears out so check it periodicity.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

nice work alan and thanks for the pictures:metal:.
And thanks Mac for the info.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks for that info Mac that's good to know when I go to order mine.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks Guys for the comments. Thanks Mac for the heads up. I'll go read those links tonight I hope. Just a quick post here to let ya'll know about the headers. I'm going crazy. I believe alot of my problems, if not all are the CPP perches. I need the front tube to go up and back. I got my Hookers today and test fitted the left side. I couldn't even get a bolt started. I'm going to write CPPJeff and see if they recommend a certain header. Also do some searching.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC02082.jpg

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC02083.jpg

You can see the tube hitting the frame, but even if it didn't the perch would.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC02084.jpg

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I hate to say this Allan, but remember way back when we all talked about notching the frame. Stop beating yourself up about this. Cut it real clean and touch up the paint. I don't think the frame will be compromised. What do ya think?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

thats why they are called "headaches" :lol:
does it have to be that style long tube header? shortys perhaps?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I don't know what to say. I would have to see it in person. I'll be right over tomorrow to take a peek. :burnout:
All kidding aside. I wish I was closer to see if I could help you out.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan I'm sorry your having such problems. I wonder if CPP could make there pearch mount under the top rail of the frame. Do you think if you had the stock mounts they would work with those headers. I have a pair I could measure for you. If they dont fit and you cant sell those headers I'll ask the ol lady and get them from you. Mine are painted and I hate it.
