We had to re-locate the ECU as wiring was a little tight.

I could have paid for the extension of the harness, but this is a driver, not a show truck so everything was moved to the drivers side inner fender.

It was an older fan and mount but it was too thick and hit the front pully

A new Spal fan was thin enough, but we have to now fab up a upper mount

It is, it's a 1-55242-X. When I got the truck, it had the fan grounded to it so Electrolysis eat the bottom hose fitting. Griffin sent me a new lower hose fitting (for free) and I had it welded in. They are a great company that supports their product!

ruffrida2005 · 09-20-2009, 01:13 PM

Truck is really coming along, You can just go ahead and send me the old fan.

rcrahn · 09-20-2009, 01:17 PM

Looking good! Excellent progress.

**scotts62** · 09-21-2009, 06:11 PM

tomlamb · 09-23-2009, 08:32 PM

Here are the latest Pic:

We ran into some issues with the digital dash hookup. It is an older one and it is proving to be difficult to work with. We may just go with a new set...

Well, with all the issues with my old gauge set, I decided to get a new set. I found the ones I liked and ordered them yesterday. I picked the Speedhut Legacy series http://www.speedhut.com/ because they would work with my shortened stock fuel sending unit (the fuel gauge is programmable so I don't have to cut another hole in my tank to read 250 ohms empty and 90 ohms full), use stepper motors and modern sending units (pressure transducers), come with a full harness, and finally are customizable in looks. I choose white gauge faces with reverse glowing dark green numbers, I'll post pics when they come in.

Nice progress Tom!

They are the stock vents that come with the Vintage Air kit taken out of the under-dash bracket.

It wasn't too bad, Current Performance did the hard part as everything was tagged as to where it goes.
