Just finished reading your build. Very cool. I think it's cool you bought it from original owner.

I love the metalwork, it is amazing what a bead roller can do in the right hands.

Layedout,

I wanted to see if you can elaborate on what you did for the water temp sensor? Maybe you can share some pics too if you have them? Will the original sensor and gauge work if I can find an adapter to plug it into the passenger side head? Thanks in advance!

The gauges I purchased came with a new temp sensor. It screwed into the head where the original is. I dont have the truck right now, its in the shop but i can take a pic once i get it. Ack in a week or so.

These engines normally run over 200. Gotta figure out if i got somethong wrong in the cooling system or not. I got black fluid that keeps showing up. I thinm its dexcool mixed with green. Im gonna flush the system and see what i get. Steering linkage is messed up. I think i may have the center link on backwards. The pass side where the tierod connects to the center link. The nut tightens all the way down and the cotter pin hole is like almost a half inch away from the castle nut. It tightens way too far. Other side barely tightens to the castle nut. Im thinking the taper or stud side is different per side. If not i got a defective center link
Great looking truck! I'll definitely be looking at this during my build. Did you ever figure out the tie rod issue? Mine is the same way when I tightened them down the hole for the cotter pin is half inch away from the castle nut. I've heard of guys using washers to make up the difference but wanted to know if you found a solution. Thanks.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 
So its a common issue to have the tie rod do that? I thought i had done something wrong. I just used washers to make the diff. I got a new gearbox im going to put on (steering is very loose) and i got the tierods off the truck with it. Figured i would swap it all out then.

Ordered me some mobsteel wheels today. Hope to have them in a few weeks. ordered 20x9 for the front, and 20x11 for the back, Thinking about painting them off white/cream color.

Same offset as these just white, not rusted. Hope they fit!

What size tires will you be running? I am on the fence between running 18s and 20s- curious how they will fit!
