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:

: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.

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

Getting ready to build the brakes in the rear.

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

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.

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

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?

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. ;)

Alan,

Did you ever find that fitting you were hunting or decide on something else?

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 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.

Yours truely.

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. ;)

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
 
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:
