I had my wisdom teeth pulled out on Friday morning. Just starting to feel semi normal Monday night. Nothing truck related done at all. It is beautiful here all week, too.

Changed my alternator saturday, bought some new mirrors today, not much is new in my world.

Dropped a 350 back in and made sweet music!

rayfinseats · 12-22-2010, 04:54 AM

Layed in my layzboy all f*ckin day and slept. Needed a day off.

im late on this one, last friday put my truck to work.
Print place was done with my calendars, so they loaded my truck up.
10,000 posters, they weigh a little over a ton

*78 Chevyrado* · 12-25-2010, 12:37 AM

I got my hella headlights and Driving lights installed.

355bullet · 12-25-2010, 01:06 AM

nice lights!
would those fit in this year of bumper?

I actually made some decent progress & completed the duel tank mounts & bolted the 50 gallon fuel tank into the bed.

Now I'm onto the fuel pump wiring & MSD wiring ... both I'm not so confident with.

Fill ups weren't costing enough?

Looks good!

ratty 46 · 12-25-2010, 09:42 PM

I'd dig the barter plan .... ANYONE???

As for the fill ups ... what's $150.00 per "tank" full .... anyway?

I didn't want to run the original tanks cause I lost 1 fuel pump just prior to the FI/carb change & the other has junk in it. I'd just rather remove them both & run 1 bed mounted tank.

Any reason you went a narrower tank that's 'deeper' into the length of the bed vs. making it shorter in length & wider?

ratty 46 · 12-26-2010, 02:03 AM

Well .... I'll tell ya:

That tank was actually a damaged diesel fuel tank from a PENSKE truck that was being tossed in the metal dumpster. I repaired the holes ... installed the pro werks filler neck & bed mounts. I also addeed a center fuel p/u -ala -8 AN fitting. So ... that was why I ended up with that tank shape. Plus it was polishable aluminum!!

COST .... free + the time & effort with the roller & welder.

My philosophy has always been "cheap is good, but free is better"...

This was my assumption but thought I'd inquire. Nice outcome for someone elses 'trash'!

ratty 46 · 12-26-2010, 07:58 PM

You got that right!

Snow yesterday has slowed my progress for a day or so .... first time on Christmas in 100 yrs.
