Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
It's a magna flow kit made for this truck. But it's for full length headers and stock cross member and I don't have either. It came with a X member but I couldn't find a way to make that work up inside the frame.

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
Are you going to put turn downs after the mufflers and dump towards the ground in front of the rear axel? Or are you going to try and go over the axel and dump out the rear?

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
Spent the weekend getting use to tig welding. Lots of really ugly welds but finally got the hang of it. Welded the stainless exhaust pipe. I really like tig no smoke and no splatter.

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
Fantastic build! Clean..clean..clean. Lots of quality work and excellent photo documentation. Keep up the great work. Love the shop too. Can't wait to get the new shop completed so I can start on several builds here.

JMO run tail pipes if you can it will make a big difference in the cab.

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
Made some progress tonight. Got some temporary wiring hooked up. Dakota Gauges are hooked up. Turned the motor over to prime it and had oil pressure
![]() The bad, radiator has a small leak at the bottom, power steering hose (pressure side) leaks like crazy. Tomorrow will power up fuel pump and check for leaks there. Don't guess I can start until the power steering hose leak is fixed. ![]() Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device

Check and double check just part of the process.

That's why I'm doing this now. The frustration was the radiator is brand new and the leak is at the bottom tank joint. And the power steering leak was at the new swivel joint that the hose shop installed. Posted via Mobile Device

It was great, no error codes (woohoo). Will patch hole in radiator tomorrow and get power steering hose fixed Monday. Need to do some research on how to get the Dakota Gauges Tach to work. Posted via Mobile Device
