SKYMANGS:
Re-aging process nearly complete! I ordered a new set of injectors for it today. Hopefully they will clean up the mid range power.

It's the S10 hitch. To make up for cutting the frame. Where it was supposed to mount, I skinni ed it up and notched the mount plates around the rear shackles. Then welded some 3/16" plate tabs to the brackets to extend them back into the frame. Make sense?

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI

sort of makes sense but haven't got this far yet and didn't know if I would have to start from scratch and my truck didn't have a hitch so I don't have anything to go by, but knowing it's possible makes me feel better about it

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI

SKYMANGS:Started my day today by installing Cecil's newly arrived injectors. Only to find out that they leak like something fierce from the bottom. Needless to say I will be returning them. Heading to Bonner Springs in the AM to get the old injectors sonic cleaned and flow tested... starting to get a little old now.

UPDATE: Talked to Chris this morning the company that sold the Injectors to him called him this morning and told him that the injectors need to be seated on the rail in order to not leak. He is going to try this and hopefully this eliminates the leaking fuel, and the sluggish engine at mid range.

Front bumper mocked up, brackets made and welded. Last pic is on it's own weight. I tucked it in nice and close, and raised it up over an inch from the stock location.

New door panels are a good fit! I added some '56 Chevy truck "V"s and the interior door poppers to break up that ocean of silver material

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI

SKYMANGS:

Pic 1: Intake coming apart AGAIN! Even seated as the manufacturer recommended... still leaks! Tomorrow I'm bringing his old injectors to Bonner Springs for Sonic cleaning and flow test. Hopefully by tomorrow night it will be running smooth.

Pic 2,3,4,5: In progress pics of Cecil's new hidden tailgate links. These are 73-87 truck tailgate links. Obviosly they needed to be modified. The tailgate will get patched and pinned tomorrow.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI

Yup. The yellow one is my in progress Tow Pig... it's a 56 GMC 350 body on an 83 1 ton dually chassis. Should be ready in 2-3 weeks to start driving daily. This one is my version of a "junkyard" build. Budget for drivable is $500. Up till last week I was up $7.

In Cecil news, the injector cleaning did the trick. Runs like a champ now! Shawn should be posting a run video shortly.
