Project Pancho Villa - 1978 SWB

[BruthaMan]

Update should be coming in the next few weeks.

We moved from Amarillo down to San Angelo last summer. I own a software company that focuses on software for Ebay and Amazon associates and lots of changes came out (including some current ones) and I've been hunkered down in a development mode.

I'm SO ready to get past it and get back to work on the truck. It's been sitting ever since. (in the garage, of course!).

Just finished ordering a round of parts. When I originally purchased a new aluminum radiator, I purchase the 17 inch tall version not knowing there was also a 19 inch tall version. Suffice to say, I had the setup for the 19 inch tall one, but didn't exchange it. So I bought the correct radiator.

I had purchased flex-a-lite 210 dual fan setup, but it is not enough to keep the beast cool, which is the primary reason I haven't driven it. It overheats. I've done the bleeding and from all indications, it simply is not getting enough air at low speed or stops. So I purchased a Lincoln Mark VIII fan and went with a dakota digital 70amp fan controller (seems to be one of the popular ones that will handle the spike of the Mark VIII Fan).

Have an electrical leak somewhere, as the battery will last about two days without starting. It's probably in the stereo deck/amp setup.

Hope everyone has been doing well. Have really missed everyone here. Too much work, not enough play. Time to turn the tables on that setup!
