Project Roxy

[Rochlow]

It's at ride height and set a 6 degrees down. When I first installed the dropmember the oil pan hit the rack, so Nate made some engine plates to raise the motor 1/2". There is about 1/16th" between them now. I thought about beating the area of the cab with a hammer to make room. But not sure if that's the best option.

I added a 3" spacer under the carrier bearing.

I sent a bunch of emails to Nate regarding the issue. However, with the holiday weekend and new stuff he's building I figured he is busy.

My fix for the steering rack/motor issues is that I ordered some Steeda offset bushings .25 and .40. I'm hoping to lower the rack .40 and the motor 1/4" to solve my issue of the trans yoke hitting the cab.

Does anyone see anything wrong with this. Not sure with the lines above the m/c outlet if that would cause no pedal pressure

I would change both of those lines. The line on the left looks like it's crimped really bad by the fitting. I would make sure they both go straight down. If you are going to loop them, loop them on a horizontal plain, not a vertical one like they are now. Here's what mine look like.

I don't see anything that would prevent pedal pressure there but the line on the left does looked kinked a bit.

Thanks for the advice guys

With the way your prop valve is mounted,... Two "U-shaped" bends would work perfectly,... From the M/C.

[Rochlow]

The slosh tubs make it difficult to make the lines come out very far.

I adjusted the length of the parking brake cable and let the rear parking brake adjust itself by setting and releasing the brake. My wife helped me bleed the brakes and they seem to be ok now.

What's happening lately with Roxy? All your pics are gone...

[Rochlow]

I deleted them for whatever reason I was thinking at the time. I should update a few.

What color is truck. Maker of paint?

[Rochlow]

Maroon poly. Basf/RM

[preacher anthony]

Okay, thanks. I want to paint mine some shade of burgundy .

[Rochlow]

I had sticker shock when I bought it.. The base was $1400 a gallon and the clear was $400 (needed 2 gallons of clear). All said in done, I had roughly $2500 in materials alone.
