Re: '50 3600 re-do. Shortening things up!
I was off all week and had plans to spend as much time as I could working on the truck. In the end, I was only able to hook up the fuel filler and mount the tail lights. I changed course on lights in the roll pan and installed stock styled LED’s.

Re: '50 3600 re-do. Shortening things up!
I've been scratching my head trying to figure out where the puddle of brake fluid was coming from on the drivers side around the front wheel. All the lines were checked & double checked & after closer inspection it appeared that it was coming from somewhere around the master cylinder so I set up me camera to see what happened when I applied the brakes and was shocked to see that the pressure switch on the proportioning valve was gushing fluid, not from the threaded connection but from around the front section by the plug. Somewhat surprised that this would fail especially since it's new.

sometimes being new can be worse than using the old part, lol.

True! I wasn't using it anyway, so I just capped it off.

Added a set of LED headlights. These have built in DRLs & turn signals. Can't figure out what the emergency flashers don't work though. I Hope to be able to test drive this thing soon!

Tucked the bumper in a bit & extended the splash apron.

Re: '50 3600 re-do. Shortening things up!
Going to have to upgrade the cooling system, it got pretty hot running in the garage. I can’t recall how much cfms the current fan has but it’s not up to the task. Any suggestions?

I pulled the single electric fan when mine did that and went with a dual fan. It increased the CFM's some and it now runs about 180 degrees.

You found a dual setup for an AD? What did you use?

a dual fan set up can be wired to start off with only a single fan running and then boost to the second fan if things continue to heat up. a manual switch is always a good thing too, for heavy stop and go traffic on hot days.
