That fan setup is a beauty!!!

**CC69Rat** · 05-27-2018, 01:45 PM

Cool pic.. Artsy 'glare wasn't intentional but looks pretty cool.

**cericd** · 05-27-2018, 07:53 PM

She's a beaut!!!

aggie91 · 05-29-2018, 09:55 AM

if only I had the cash...

Y'all did an outstanding job on this truck!

NoNeck · 06-07-2018, 10:47 AM

I do believe the engine compartment is finished! We have the new dual fans connected so that they power up either by the Painless Temp Sensor, when the A/C is turned on or manually with a toggle in the console (as a back up).

We removed the master cylinder and adjusted the brake booster rod to eliminate some residual line pressure. After talking with a friend of ours, we removed the 5.5 psi fuel pressure regulator completely. Our blueprinted Holley 3310 needed about 7 psi at idle so the regulator was hindering performance a little.

The A/C is charged and ready for the Summer heat. We love the Vintage Sure Fit system so far and will keep you updated on how well it works.

We also discovered that the Lokar neutral safety switch was defective on the floor shift. I called Lokar and they shipped out a new one yesterday at no charge. Great customer service and super nice car guys at Lokar.

Man, that truck is nice!!

Gorgeous truck! What front pully setup are you running on that big block?

Thanks, we didn't want the AC hoses to cross the front of the engine so we went with brackets from Alan Groves. We also wanted to keep the long water pump which made it difficult to find quality custom brackets for the AC compressor and Alternator.

The AC brackets are Alan Groves part number 122R and the Alternator brackets are part number 222L. They are specific to a Big Block Chevy with LONG water pump, AC compressor on PASSENGER SIDE and Alternator on DRIVER SIDE.

If you don't mind the AC hoses across the front of the engine and have a short water pump Big Block, you have a multitude of choices.

I hope this helps.

Thanks - Chad

Did you sell your truck? I saw that the auction had ended.

**CC69Rat** · 06-22-2018, 12:03 PM

Didnt sell, no. I am taking it to rhe Nationals July 14. Hipefully bringing back an empty trailer.

I hate to see it go, but I kinda need to.

Weather permitting, the truck will be at Goodlettesville July 14. I'll have the title in the truck.. just sayin.

Scott ? ..

**CC69Rat** · 07-22-2018, 09:16 PM

She's gone fellas. She is in her new home in NC. It has been an incredible build! Thanks for following along. This turned out to be a really nice truck. It wasn't perfect, but none of them are really. I'd do it all over again if I could.

I love my Pop. I couldn't have asked for a better friend and mentor through these old hot rods. Just another one for the priceless memories archives.

.. until next time.

gringoloco · 07-22-2018, 11:48 PM

Congrats on the sale. What’s next?

**mkmc69** · 07-23-2018, 05:02 AM

Congrats to you, and the new owner! They got one sweet ride!

FRCvette · 07-23-2018, 07:10 AM

Congrats. Is the new owner a member here?

knomadd · 07-23-2018, 11:50 AM

Congratulations on the sale Chad. You and Pops did some really nice work with this one. You both should be proud.

**CC69Rat** · 07-23-2018, 07:23 PM

Ha Ha, that didn't take long.

NoNeck · 07-26-2018, 12:08 PM

It really is awesome to be able to spend time with your kids one on one. There is no better way to talk about the challenges in life than flat on your back under a greasy old car. It has been an amazing journey helping Chad with his projects and this truck was our best to date.
