New Pics

I just loaded it up on the trailer to see if it would go. I lowered the truck as low as it can go. 3" of clearance.
Pics of new alcohol set up and new on board fire system. Also new lexan door window

Looks good Jim but you need to let me rewire it! Mine is not an example of my best work but come on and move to Florida!

Re: New Pics

My wiring looked just like that at first....Then a bunch of stuff started to change and be added. It will clean up, I just couldn't believe how much wiring goes into one of these.
I didn't post a pic of the dedenbear lighted ET board. I mounted it on the outside on one of the down roll bar angle bars. Man is it sweet

Re: New Pics

WoW..... LOOKS GOOD. Haven't even started on my C10 shortbed stepside yet but seeing the hot rods on this page makes me want to get going. "Old Man Winter" just won't go away here in Western PA.

Really like the "air cleaner" .... what make is it?

Thanks for the "inspiration"

[QUOTE=bigjimzlll;2646113]It's a Uni-filter

Thanks Jim..... Not too pricey..... got a one piece fiberglass frontend (US Body Works) with the "cowl induction scoop" and was looking for something "Different to use".

Back (quite) a few years use to run a "Stelling Air Filter" but haven't seen them lately. It looked like a "strainer" with foam element....

Going to a SWAP MEET on Sunday morn.... just love 'em.... NEVER know what you "might" find.... plus weather forecast is for a "Spring-Like day" for a change....

Trailing arms work pretty well. I have trailimg arms coilovers and an antiroll bar! You might search around in here. Some are doing adjustable front trailing arm brackets!
