Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks for the part info Alan!, looks like your have alot of goodies to keep you busy for a bit.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

so the 67-72 tubs wont fit
i dont like the look of the 60-66 ones and i want to put some 67-72s in

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

:thumbs: Hopefully the info willkeep someone else from having the trouble I did.

I have never tried, but I heard they won't. I guess that's why they are making them for the 60-66 now. ;)

Shannon came over and help get the brake lines routed, to make sure there weren't any issues. Really didn't have any problems, just a couple minor ones. Once I got started I realized I didn't take into consideration that the 67-72 frt inner fender wheels are different than 60-66. I thought I would have some clearance issues, But there weren't any problems. For those that don't remember or haven't seen all my build. I used brake lines for a 72 since that is what I used to convert my 6 lugs to 5 lugs.

I started at the master cylinder and went back. I still had the old porportioning valve from the 72 and had a fitting coming off the rear that had 2 ports on it. I can't remember how it was ran on the 72. I figured I had to use it. Long story short I eliminated it. If I'm doing something wrong please chime in. I'm going to try to find a pic of a factory 72 setup to see what's supposed to look like.

I'm not too happy with the front line. One straight portion has a lot of lumps in it. It looks like I bent it. :lol:

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC02140.jpg

Need some fittings to get these tied together.

I ordered some tranny cooler lines gambling that they would line up with the summit radiator. I think they are workable.

Gotta go thru and tighten and clamp everything down, so overall it was succesful.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Looks good Alan.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan,
What radiator did you use and where did you get it from? Also how much?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

:thumbs: Thanks Jason

Summit PN SUM-381328 $211.95

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

looking good , on the brake fitting , it is for a trailer brake controler , if you look it says tekonsha on it so your right in taking it out,
The 45 degree flares should seal up ok as long as the nuts engage enough thread. and again some very nice workmanship!!!:metal:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

:thumbs: Thanks for the info and comments. That clears up the mistery.

Another intersting site for hardware and fasteners. Allensfateners.com I was searching for adel clamps and stumbled across the site. Looks promising.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Man you did some crazy bends. Looks great.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I wish I could take credit for it. They are bought.

Getting ready to build the brakes in the rear.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC02152.jpg

The mod I did to the crossmember to make it work with 72 brake lines worked out perfect.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC02153.jpg

Shannon is bringing a bracket over tonight to mount the T on the rearend. Also talked to the Truck Shop and they will send out another front prop valve line to frame to replace the lumpy one.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC02154.jpg

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Great mod on the rear, i did the same but didnt think about it until after it was painted
so i cut and bolted the bracket on. Looking good alan!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

:thumbs:

Shannon brought the bracket over and it worked perfectly. Got the wheel cylinders in and the rear brake lines buttoned up.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Lookin' good Alan!!!! Gettin' closer every time I check in to see whats up. Keep it going; you're almost there.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

[QUOTE=Alan's Classic;3829679]I wish I could take credit for it. They are bought.

That's what I like about you Allan. Being honest. :metal: If you try hard you can probably do it. But would it worth it?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Looking good as usual Alan.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I haven't been around lately for one reason or another, but like usual Alan top notch work my friend.

I hope your not saving receipts for everything you buy because I bet it will scare you in the end. ;)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan,
very..very..nice. and real clean work on the lines.
Did you ever find that fitting you were hunting or decide on something else?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks, one thing at a time is progress.

Thanks, I have no reason to lie about my limitations. Yes, I will be better with practice. But right now the cost would be enormous if I tried to do all my brake lines right now. :lol:

Thanks Jason!!

Glad to seee you around here again. I quit adding receipts last year. It was close to 10K not counting labor.

Thanks David, I went with a different fuel pump. That fixed the problem.

Shannon came over to supervise me on my 3rd attempt on the fuel line. Bending tubing is getting a little easier, but I've got a lot to learn. Practice, practice, practice.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...k/DSC02171.jpg

Yours truely.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...k/DSC02173.jpg

The line is done.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Nice progress. The rear lines look like a quality fit.... what manufacturer?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I ordered them from truckandcarshop.com. Each line comes tagged so you have a clue to where it goes.

Got my fuel tank from ??????? today. A couple issues that I PM'd him about. Overall pleased so far. A couple issues were my fault for assuming. ;)

Radiator saddles and upper clamps came in today.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Oh wow - that juice tank and coolant assembly are outrageous! :metal:

Not quite stock - eh, Alan? :chevy:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Yeah they look GREAT :metal:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

coming along nice Alan.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

[QUOTE=Alan's Classic;3816433]Thanks Joel. Any time I learn something that looks easy usually proves me wrong. :haha: You gonna post any pics of your progress?

Okay Alan, go see em! i even painted a part

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

:thumbs: I think I crossed the stock line a little while ago. ;)

Thanks Dennis and Paul

I'll go check them out.

The wheel tubs seam to fit pretty good. No complaints.

I don't have much room to play when I fab up the fan shroud.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Your getting close to taking that thing for a drive.:metal: Looks good.;)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

You going to leave those high speed fan straps?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Those are sweet..........:lol:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Great job on everything as usual Alan ;)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

The tubs look sweet - and the power steering plumbing is primo!

This build's got to be made into an illustrated catalog - I'd pay $50 for it in a heart-beat. Best work I've ever seen, or even heard about.

Mac. :metal:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan,
Where did Santa get the tubs from..or did you already say.
once i start looking at your pictures i stop reading. very nice

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

looking good Alan......

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Cool looking good! :metal:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thought you might like them.

Thanks Ronnie

Thanks Mac, at least I could sell one book. :lol:

Thanks David, I got them from truck shop.

Thanks Heath

Thanks Scott

Tried to put the rear ebrake cables in tonight. They are wrong. Here is a pic of the old and the new. I ordered PN 63-15516 for 63-65 1/2 ton SB.

Updated edit. It is probably my fault. I forgot I used the 72 trailing arms. LINKY to a question I posted. Researching still.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Holy crap yeah id say that the wrong one too :lol:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Allan, why don't you just clean them up? I did that with both Studebaker's I did. First I wire wheeled them, then painted the housing silver. They looked almost new. Besides are you going to show it with mirrors under the truck. Just my 2 cents. I'll shut up now. :lol:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Someone sew that guys ^ mount shut. HAHA

That's a good Idea on cleaning them. Unless you have any wires that are messed up I would clean them up.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Steal toes work good for that Alan.
