Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Getting the hinge on w/o scratching the paint is the easy part. Putting the spring on and not damaging the paint with what I want to know.
Did you adjust the hinge location so that the hood closes correctly? If so, did that scratch any of the paint around the hinge on the inner fender? |

No progress on my side of the fence tonight. I went over to help Shannon set his cab on his frame. Still in jury duty. :waah: They said expect a long day tommorrow 8 a.m.-midnight. Trying not to run into the weekend. I did meet another jury member that had some mouldings and emblems for old chevys. He said he had no use for them and brought them to me today. I saw a couple 3100 emblems in the bucket. I was hoping to get a pic, but ran out of time. Shannon and I did get the 55 running last night. Just have to fine tune the timing and carb adjustment. |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Hi Alan, Again Nice work.
Reading your thread again starting at post 2370, during the mock-up of the fuel filler door, What year and model donated the green fuel door? Was that a random choice or is a perfect fit of the body lines Also what O.D. is the filler pipe off the tank? I bought a RCI 17 gallon cell from summit and will be modifying the fill pipe to turn out as I would like to have a outside fill door. Your metal skills are outstanding , I will have to recruit a body man relative . Thanks-- bubba |

Shannon and I got the rear brakes done last night. Had to redo the Rt side again, because I failed to read the instructions that reminded me the right hand thread went on the left and the left hand thread self adjuster went on the right drum. I had two new ones, but they were both right hand thread, that's why it didn't even cross my mind. |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan, I love digital cameras and take lots of pictures before I tear stuff like brakes apart then I can look to see how they go back together if they will be apart for some time. Then I read the manual .
I found on my truck's rear brakes the shoes were installed wrong by P.O. and the shorter shoe was in the rear position on the passenger side. |

Call it beginners luck or what ever, but I got the fan shroud made today. I couldn't have ask for anything better. As we all know I have limited experience with custom fabrication. To me this was complex due to exact measurements. I don't know if I would have the same luck if I made another. Here are the steps I took. The sheet of aluminum http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02331.jpg What I had in mind. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02333.jpg The layout http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02335.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02337.jpg The piece cut out and corners notched. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02340.jpg The first set of bends http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02341.jpg I used these vice grips to tweak a couple corners that didn't bend to a true 90* http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02342.jpg Ran out of time today. This is where it is at now. Still need to make the top and bottom caps and cut the hole for the fan then test fit. Hope it clears the engine. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02343.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02344.jpg |

Shannon came over and helped me get a little more done. Worked on getting the bottom cap fabbed up and fan mounted. Here's the deminsions of the bottom cap http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02346.jpg Done and installed http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02347.jpg I lined up the fan assy and traced the outside of it then used this big compass to scribe a line 3/4" to the inside. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02350.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02351.jpg Cut opening for the fan and drilled the mount holes. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02353.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02354.jpg This is far as we got last night. Discovered that the upper radiator hold downs interfer with the front shields that bolt between the radiator support and the headlight mount panel. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02355.jpg |

Back a couple of months ago when I put the brakes together I may have been paying attention but when I read your post it caught my attention b/c I just didn't remember them being threaded differently. Never hurts to double check. Oh by the way your build thread is awesome and helpful. I've back read up to page 40 or so... like the videos. |

Came out nice Allan. :metal:

I riveted the lower supports in place. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02362.jpg Secured the wire http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02363.jpg Top cap bent and installed. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02365.jpg The upper clamps are off center because I'm trying to decide which way to install them. I like the one on the right because it mounts more to the end of the radiator, but will have to modify the shield. The one on the left will be easy to do, but it seams like it is too close to the middle. I'm leaning to the one on the Left. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02366.jpg Any suggestions for the lower radiator hose? The cooler lines are out of place because they aren't hooked up. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02367.jpg Got the filler neck welded. It looks like it is really close to the floor, but there is room to accomendate the hose and clamp. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...d/DSC02369.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...d/DSC02370.jpg Started laying out a pattern for the panel inside the bed arounf the filler neck. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...d/DSC02373.jpg Oops, I messed up http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...d/DSC02375.jpg I've got more pics coming next |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Redesigned the pattern, I did not provide measurements because every install might be a little different.
http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...d/DSC02376.jpg More better http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...d/DSC02378.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...d/DSC02379.jpg 2.0 |

Here is another fuel neck out of a late model ford super duty. It has a round door just haven't cut the door out of the bed yet. The tube is a lot longer than the one I had. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...d/DSC02372.jpg |

Hey Alan,
That fan shroud is so nice it makes me want to do mine over, keep the inspiration coming. I had a tough lower radiator hose situation on my LS swap. I used a stainless tubing 90 degree elbow and two silicone adapters. It looks like you could use one elbow and two straight adapters. Just something to think about. http://www.mandrel-bends.com/catalog/ TR |

This might work for your lower hose.........ID164
