higher then? I thought the steam connection had to be higher then the steam line itself and where it comes out of the heads? In order to bleed off air bubbles, the reason the line is there?

[menace121978]

well i went out and looked and the water pump and fitting are higher than the heads. and i imagine the pump is sucking from the heads also rather than just bleeding off into the radiator.

[STOCKISH]

Where you did it is perfect. I am going to do mine the same way just ned to get the fitting to install into the pump. Looking good man.

sounds like my solution as well. clean, simple, and easy to do.

[MikeRodFromHEAVEN]

Wow. That is one hell of a nice job you are doing there.
Keep up the good work.

[menace121978]

right on guys! thanks and i'm glad i could help

[menace121978]

yesterday i took a ride out to our painter Rich's house and checked out the progress on the cab and also got to check out Draggin86's truck! here's a few pics...

[menace121978]

the firewall is just about ready for primer and then he's going to do the inside. and prep the bottom for undercoating. i'd like to get the cab back all painted and finished but i think Rich wants to hang the doors before he does the outside... i'm not sure how it's going to work out because either way its gotta get jammed and i want to get all the wiring done with auto meter gauges and put down sound deadener.

[palposity]

Looks like it is coming along!

[JohnC]

Looks good, but did your camera die when it came to taking pics of his truck?

[nlped]

[menace121978]

well not much of an update but things are in motion!! ive decided on the wheels i'm running changed it up to the eagle 225's! i'm going with 245/40/20's front and 295/40/20 rear kdw2. a buddy is also bringing over some esky 3 piece engine covers totest fit so i can get the engine harness dialed in. (hopefully in the cab) i'm driving to Colorado to pick up my covers in July but i just need to know now if and where to drill the hole in the firewall for the harness. here's a photochop of her new wheels...
