All I can say is it's great to see one of the best board "families" make progress. Congrats again to the Dubies!

Congrats Dubie's Time to get off my dufus now and get going on mine again!!

dubie · 11-17-2003, 12:06 PM

thanks again for all the encouraging words guys. Now I just have to finish the welding on the cab so I can re-install the gas tank so I can fire that engine up. I'll be sure to post more progress pics as the progress happens

Tim, a gas can and some rubber gas line will short cut that process for ya!

dubie · 11-17-2003, 12:23 PM

trust me, I have thought of that

just to hear this beast fire

I think I may just do that Jeff

If you do make sure of the following:

1. make sure oil pressure sending unit line is plugged (if using a guage). If set up for idiot lights this is not an issue.

2. Install radiator. I use bungee cords to frame to steady it.

3. Use a small piece of heater hose to create a loopback between your heater core inlet and outlet nipples on intake and water pump.

4. Install fan/alt belt. I don't hook up the PS pump belt.

5. I like to hook up exhaust pipes (w/o mufflers

)

Use care around that fan!
