Man, your truck is looking great!!

[67cheby]

thank you !! Well after yesterday's crash diet my fan shroud lost a little of her modesty, instead of covering her "tanks" now she is going to go with a Brazilian cut and just let those bad boys shine !! LOL, here is the updated, much slimmer version of my fan shroud

[67cheby]

and also after 15 years of not having a "real" floor jack, i finally bought one thanks to the local sears store's 40% off clearance !

Cool. Can't wait to see it in color.

[mcbassin]

Very good progress Mike! I'm digging that new jack. Looking forward to the Paint pics soon.

Have fun slipping even that low profile jack under your frame when the battery's dead and the bags are empty! lol

hmmm it would be a good idea to add a hookup for an extra battery outside of the truck like behind the rear licenceplate aspecially if you have doorpoppers as whell

[67cheby]

On my longbed project I used to have, I was going to have the posts and also have a quick connect for an air hose connected to my tank so I could either fill it if the comps broke....or use it to fill my tire/friend's tire if someone got a slow leak flat...

[67cheby]

great idea on the air hose ! got my SPAL fan controller in today, gonna get this cooling/shroud project wrapped up in the next couple days i hope !!

[watahyahknow]

i was thinking about it but figured that when the power is off the airvalves dont work either

i seen some people with pickuptrucks use industrial co2 cylinders with a simple pressurevalve and no pumps watsoever there getting quite a few hops out of those
if you hook up a small cylinder like one out of a fire extinguisher/paintballgun to the tanks you should be able to lift it one time

looking great.

[superflysteiny]

Thank you ! here is a pic for JTP67-72, shot of the carrier bearing and the bolt inside the yoke that bolts them together after you press the bearing on. Sorry for the terrible pics i should have slid a piece of white posterboard behind it , i didnt know they came out this dark !

[jtp67-72]

That's what i was missing-the yoke unbolting--mine off of the lwb is pressed on over the slider splines--different setup...........thanx for the pic.....jim

[67cheby]

no problem ,anytime !

[67cheby]

Copy cat.......



Just kidding, Just kidding.

[babyblueoval]

I think the color you're going with is a little lighter and has a bit of grey tint to it. At least that's what I remember from your previous post of colors.

[67cheby]

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery . Right !! I just want to be like you !!
