Re: My 1952 truck.
Brushed up on my swear words today. Made a bracket to hold lines away from tire.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Well, it was a little closer to being the right rotation. I give up.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Yeah today I had to rework my ac/heater hoses. Kicking myself for using s/s braided lines. Miserable things. I am still in mock up stage after a two year break so I'm itching to take it apart and start finishing work. Not sure what is going on with my pictures. Sorry about that.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Been fighting with aligning up my hood and fenders before I can take truck apart. I had to fix bottom radius on drivers fender to start. Hood refused to line up. Had gap in center of fender 3/8". Shimmed up front can mounts 1/16" and it was better. Found broken rivets on hood allowing flex.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Took out grille again to see WTH is going on. Figured out my problem. Had to move front of drivers fender out almost 1/4". Now I'm happy with hood. Need to install new cable latch then fix radius at the front of both front fenders so they line up with hood. These fenders did not fit worth a damn.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Are you using the fender braces that attach to the firewall? That is the easiest way to remove that gap

Re: My 1952 truck.
I can't find mine. I'm pretty sure they will clear the supercharger but my AC compressor is going to be a problem. I may have to build some as I want them in. Gives me an idea though. Maybe fab up a fancy brace.

Re: My 1952 truck.
nice work, as for the pics. do you hit preview bf you post? If it is clocked wrong, you have to edit the photo and save it then re upload the photo. If you take the picture initially turned sideways or upright etc, its going to clock your picture in that way. So as I said you need to edit it. Which (I4 user) you can actually do on your phone, edit it there bf you upload it to your computer. Or if you have any type of editing program on your cpu, you can edit your photo there. Its all an easy fix, you just need to rotate your images and save your file bf you upload it to this site.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Just read your build. Great lookin truck, glad your back at it. What are some specks on that motor (or did I miss that). Your CJ is real nice, I've had my 1967 CJ5 for almost 21 years, so much fun. Keep up the good work.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Thanks lower50's. I built the engine to be a tough one. 383 Eagle stroker balanced rotating assembly, ARP fasteners throughout, 9.5:1 CR, 177 supercharger, AFR racing heads, Holley 950HP carburator, custom 1-7/8" headers built by me. Conservative estimate is 650hp. Once it is running I'm taking it to a chassis dyno to have engine and transmission dialed in. I have videos of it running on a test stand but can't get it to load on here. Something about missing security token.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Need to do a little work here. My truck has a hood from a 1 ton grain truck. Has more slope to the nose. So it is also a bit wider. Will need to widen the grille also. Fun fun.

Re: My 1952 truck.
I'm going to widen the from metal a smidge. I have it welded up but never had time for a picture. Will do tomorrow. Decided I am going to lower and sink my hydro boost into the firewall. I think.

Re: My 1952 truck.
I would like to put the support rods back in but AC unit is in the way and I'm not messing with that anymore. Will need to think of something.
