I put it on the flat part where the u bolts hold the u joint on then just added 90 degrees and went from there. Mines just tacked untill I get my engine and trans in. Then I'll do it for real. Link works now.http://www.carcraft.com/howto/91758/index.html

Great score on the Bags Dave. I can get Contitech's for the same price , but they don't have as good features. The internal bump stops are important if you want to show off and blow sparks while your driving.

ruffrida2005 03-17-2010 09:15 PM

Re: Daverods project 66
 
The Doms dont have bump stops in them. The Slams do.

Re: Daverods project 66
 
Nice work on the arms. You'll like having that much air with the 8gal tank.

ruffrida2005 03-27-2010 07:07 PM

Re: Daverods project 66
 
I'm glad you got pics of yours in your bed. I'm trying to decide of where to put mine. Good work on the arms

:lol:I ordered the top mounts for the bags from SD. I was going to make them but the ones from SD were cheap and easy.:smoke: I need to get some smaller tires for the front. The ones I have on there now are huge. They hit the cab.:sumo: ?I'm not sure what to do about engine mounts? I'm putting a 350 in it and I don't know if the stock 283 mounts will work? I think I have to move the engine forward so my dizzy will fit?:uhmk:

ruffrida2005 03-29-2010 12:39 AM

Re: Daverods project 66
 
all gen 1 chevy blocks are the same size and mount the same, My truck was a 283 and was swaped with a 350. I think it was mounted on the back holes, and my buddy dented the fire wall in to clear the valve covers when he owned the truck.

Bought a metal floor for my air tank, still need to get stuff mounted.:uhmk: Weather here was sucking made me happy I had a heated garage.

It is snowing here again Dave-- And April fools day is tomorrow. We all need to be careful.
your garage has more room when your sled is not in the way.

daverod 03-31-2010 11:42 PM

Re: Daverods project 66
 
I just put my sled up for the year and got my dirt bike running. Maybe I should have waited a couple more weeks.:lol: Spent the day cleaning stuff and learning about how to fill air bags. Snowmachine hill climbs at Pebble creek this weekend. Always a good time.
