The Snortin' bull

Progress

Ok so I have been putting this off for a bit. The Snortin' bull handle's real good a sway bar can make it better.Being bagged the sway link's have to pivot.I picked up some heim's.

[namloc]

Sway bar on a suspension that is bagged take's some time to set up. I am trying to make sure no binding can occur.

[namloc]

Rollin' along. Time to change the rear diff. fluid and see how's it doing. All good .

[namloc]

Installed a headliner to add less road noise and more insulation.And it helped. Still tryin' to keep the old sittin' in the yard truck vibe. No resto or all new look here and there .

[CHIZZLER]

Maintenance is good on these old trucks. What are the details on your headliner? Hard to tell from the pics. It looks like some kind of vinyl/leather material.

[namloc]

The headliner is a kit from LMC.Vinyl upholstered panel .It is a medium weight Fiberboard backed. Good color. Nothing fancy but fit was good and a fair value.

[namloc]

Back at it . Got the sway bar bracket's fab'd and installed.

[namloc]

The sway bar is now on the frame mount's.

[namloc]

Bar is on the truck.

The Snortin' Bull has no horn.I had an old siren the the fiftie's .So I thought for the time it will be fun.Fab'd a momentary switch bracket and mounted .

[namloc]

Mounted off to the side .Easy to switch. It's loud enough .The thought is to add a air operated train horn .

[62stepside longbox]

Horn looks cool, but I really like your idea of a train horn!

[namloc]

So the old siren just was not loud enough.So I installed a real horn set. These myself and other have used for years on street rod's.They arm from Ford (sorry) superduty trucks, 2000 - 2006 , fiamm hi and low and a bracket and weather pack connection,

[namloc]

Took the Snortin' Bull to NSRA inspection day this Saturday at Mathewsons Automotive in Seattle.The horns got it Stickered to pass.last year it's first time it did not.

[namloc]

Installed a new extinguisher .Behind the seat .Fit real well.Safety first .

[62stepside longbox]

Great to see that back there, that's something I'm definitely going to add to mine when I start driving it.

[namloc]

Well most of the bug's are out .Hearing the gear drive and exhaust, air compressors and such is cool some beat's would be good. So still this is a budget build and no polished billet ride. Fabbed up some spacers to fit Stillwater Kicker speaker's on to door rib's.SSL audio deck installed is the start.

[namloc]

Air horn's.Out garage sailin' today and picked this trio of air horn's.They cleaned up real nice and all work.Very loud at testing with just 60 psi.The Bull's tank hold 120 psi.

Thanks for the comp. I like the Mule project.I think the service truck's have a cool back story for all the years of work .And than some one like you brings them back to life.

Thanks man, it's a neat old truck for sure. I am looking forward to getting it going. I've got a vision for it in my head...I'll be happy if I can execute it half as good as you've done.

Using the radio delete plate. A simple insert to blend the audio deck into the dash.

[namloc]

I had a manual air horn valve for years.Now it is going to be used.Just mocking up horn's before mounting all.
