Re: 63 Short Fleet Build

Got a little pin striping done at the greybeards carshow today... No the trucks not driving, my painter wanted it at his booth so we trailered it in.

Re: 63 Short Fleet Build

I got those hinges long enough ago that I don't have any info on them but if you google "suicide door hinges", several sites offer that style. You might check some of the local board vendors here too. I'm sure some of them offer them.

For the other questions, I don't have any stunning progress as of late. I have just been steadily acquiring all of the finishing pieces I need. Got my engine computer and harness from Fuel injection connection, I have a Isis wiring system on it's way and have been working on all of the plumbing. I'll post up some more soon I hope.

Re: 63 Short Fleet Build

Nice progress, i am running a similar setup and had a question about your return back to the tank. Will it actually be able to return with were tied it in at the bottom of the tank? With all the fuel pressure already in that line from being at the bottom and then having fuel trying to get back in.

Re: 63 Short Fleet Build

Well It's been a while but I'm back working on the truck. I've gotten the loins share of the wiring done and am working on all the finishing touches. Todays project was getting my brake reservoir mounted.
