Re: 57 Step Side
exhaust system done,built on a creeper what a pain in the *ss.It looks so much easier on tv when they have the truck on the lift and pipe stands holding up the whole system as they put tack welds on.

Magnaflow ,when i opened the box and saw that they were straight open mufflers i said well its going to be loud but i hope not to loud.Brought the rounds so i had more room when mounting them,but i think i have enough pipe on the end of them to kill some of the sound.

Re: 57 Step Side
Got my steering column back from ididit had them cut 3" off,now i have enough room between the headers and steering shaft.Just wondering if the heat from the header to the shaft will keep my steering wheel warm in the winter!!!!
Trans cable is hooked up and the column shifter actually works.

You are moving too fast, stretch it out a bunch of years like me to keep yourself occupied.

Re: 57 Step Side
Radiator came in this week so we started to mount it up busy weekend so only had a few hours to play with it.Going to mount the condenser on the outside of the radiator,need all the room on the engine side for a electric fan.

Re: 57 Step Side
Wow, You don't mess around. This thing is looking good.
I have a couple of questions.
What headers did you end up using?
And could I get more information on your E-Brake setup. Looks like Lokar stuff but I just wanted to get some specifics.
Thanks, and again fine work your doing

Thanks, I used patriot headers,e-brake i used the lokar foot brake and their cables.It works good i still have to bleed the brakes a little more i think but the e-brake system seems to work good,the only thing i changed is the little round knob that they gave you for the e- brake release.It was to small so i fab up a alumunim t-handle to fit it which works alot better.

Condenser on so the hot box should be cool when it gets hooked up.
