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. |

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 |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
This might work for your lower hose.........ID164

It wasn't beginners luck. I was able to make another one exactly the same. :metal: My confidence has increased.

So does that mean some of these will be 4sale?;) I could really use that setup for my build. |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Hey Alan remember I dared you to do it. I'll PM you my addy.
And you better not take the easy way out on the mounts. You will regret it later down the road. |

I moved the mounts to the outer position which brought up another issue I haven't mentioned. The radiator is offset to one side to clear the battery box. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02394.jpg With it being offset caused the fan to be offset. It really doesn't bother me because you have to look straight down on it to really notice. If the battery was relocated then the radiator could be centered. If not the fan could be centered on the engine with some thought. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...r/DSC02395.jpg |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I know it will bug the crap out of you Alan, but I dont think anyone would even look at it after everything else on your truck.
Once I get my Radiator I'll hit you up for getting a shroud. |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Great work Alan!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
You could relocated the battery behind the seat and then center the Radiator. This may also cause you to need to add a second battery behind the other seat for symmetry.
Truthfully I think it looks fine. I just want your build to go on until I can start mine. I really enjoy reading it, and seeing how you handle some of the challenges. At this rate I need you to stretch it at least 2 more years. :lol: |

Is there such a thing as writers block when it comes to working on these old trucks? I get it every no-and-then. I get out to the shop and just sit there and think. My mind gets so busy I can't focus on one thing. So I took my welder/plasma cart apart to improve it. |
