Re: Project "Class Act"

Congrats on ordering the remaining suspension parts you need to complete your frame. If your looking for a fuel tank, you should really look into an aluminum tank from Boyd Welding. They are really nice quality and you can even order one powdercoated if you like. You can get the Boyd tank for about half that ECE tank and the Boyd tank is already setup for a in tank fuel pump if you ever decide on going with fuel injection.

Re: Project "Class Act"

Did you ever work out the "spacer" for the upper arm studs? I lost a couple of mine during tear down and had to get more from the junkyard. I've noticed though, that there are two different thicknesses out there though. Also, the C20 uses 9/16 studs VS. the C10 uses 1/2".

Yes I have... I am over to the 1/2" studs and I ordered a bunch of Shims of different thicknesses from Rock Auto... Once the rest of the parts get here I will finish the mockup then frame and start actually building this thing...

Thanks for the info but I like the idea of Stainless steel over aluminum and I really don't think this truck will ever get EFI...

Re: Project "Class Act"

I just read through all the pages. I am so happy that after you got the truck back you decided to keep it instead of tossing it and getting a different one. After all of the changes, short bed, motor/trans, wheels/tires, etc...the soul of the truck will always be that of your dad.

Love the build so far, keep up the good work. I think the truck will be worth far more to you when its done....er, um, driveable, our trucks are never "Done"
