Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56

Mike, get a big tray...should be a big move this weekend.

Totally excited about today!

Will be test-fitting the motor and transmission into the frame. Removing the cab so that we can function a bit easier....then we will ease the cab onto the frame and have the magic. I did get some goodies from Summit yesterday, so, I am definitely looking forward to this next phase of the project.

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

what did you get from sumitt?

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

I got an external fuel pump, good for 120 PSi and 200LPH, a matching Fuel Pressure Regulator, and the the feeder for the tank (that will be shipped to me). I took pics of them, but I will include that in the update later today

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

Did not get to work on the truck today, unfortunately.... :waah:

But I did order a few more goodies :metal:

I think with everything here, I should be able to fire her up within the next two weeks. Hopefully the driveshaft will fit as is...if not, we will get it modified or cut a new one and button her all up. So much to do, so little time.

I also ordered the fuel tank shave and the A/C firewall shave components.

Around a month ago, was your stepper on the road?? Coming down cover bridge road, about to get on 113 in Taylorsville? I do believe I saw you! Nice truck man!

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

are you keeping the tank in the cab or moving to a rear mounted one?

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

Josh, look back one page or two....I have a very sweet 20 gallon aluminum fuel cell.

Looking good...what do you think the largest sized rim is you can put on a bagged stepside like this?

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

I have 20x10. "Made Bail" has 22x10.

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

Do you guys have pic threads? im starting a new project and would appreciate the help.

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
 

Just search my "name", or Rustspot Made Bail. If you narrow your rear and cut the bedsides, you will be good to go.
I now defer to Leon's originally scheduled coolness of build...

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56

Re: Dirty Dianah (No)... Bagged 72 Stepside/LSx/T56
