i really like your front end, and strongly thinking of switching over to it. can you give me some info?

Trucks coming along nice. Why would you drill the head for a coolant temp. just take the bung out the back on the passanger side head.

STOCKISH · 05-29-2010, 03:24 PM

You have to drill the head to use the 86 ect sensor. I am just going to use an adapter for it. I got the tanks, switching valve, filter, etc all mounted. Just need to plumb it now. Getting closer!!!

menace121978 · 05-29-2010, 06:30 PM

looking great buddy! now get'er plumbed!

*Stitch* · 05-29-2010, 09:14 PM

VERY nice...man I would hate to see what you would do to a show truck...

menace121978 · 05-29-2010, 10:15 PM

btw, Josh i thought you had the harness installed!?!? i keep staring at that last pic and i cant see it!

wonder if i could mod mine like that

STOCKISH · 05-30-2010, 12:33 AM

I absolutely love it. This harness is freakin awesome. You can hardly see it when you're looking right at the thing in person. Very nice piece for sure! Now I just need some S&P headers.

Thanks for all the nice words guys!

silvereagle07 · 06-02-2010, 06:24 PM

Wow Josh that harness turned out great!

mcbassin · 06-02-2010, 06:45 PM

Digging the harness and tanks!

menace121978 · 06-02-2010, 08:56 PM

was hoping this was an update!?

STOCKISH · 06-02-2010, 09:52 PM

Sorry man. Has been a little slower at work so the extra cash has slowed as well. If you get someone to buy the welder I have in the for sale section I will finish this darn thing!

STOCKISH · 06-10-2010, 07:56 PM

Well. I gues any progress is good progress. I had some time to hang out with my little man and he wanted to work on Daddy's truck. I decided to drill and tap my cylinder head instead of using the adapter because it just stuck out too far to work for me. Got it installed just in time for him to loose interest. Shorttle attention span they have!

I know, pics or it didnt happen!

I really like the idea of doing this. I have heard of guys doing this, looks easy enough to me. The adapter does stick out a little. (still kinda cool looking in brass though). Hope your son picks up more wrenching secrets than mine.

I did this the lazy way....

. I used a bushing instead of an adapter. Glad to hear you're motivated again,

. Hang in there, it will come together.

STOCKISH · 07-15-2010, 05:51 PM

Shoot Rob, as long as it doesnt leak! Looks like a good idea to me. It was actually really easy to drill and tap though.

68GMCCustom · 06-10-2010, 10:02 PM

no no....can't be done yet.....those hands look WAY too clean.

STOCKISH · 06-10-2010, 10:07 PM

Shortly after that he got into the tub of wheel bearing grease I was using to catch the shavings from drilling! Caught him just in time

menace121978 · 06-11-2010, 09:15 AM

nice job Josh. i still need to do that! just waiting to see what size the sending unit for the autometer gauge is. getting ready to head out to pick n pull for ya buddy! i'll give you a call in a bit and let you know what i get

STOCKISH · 06-11-2010, 10:32 AM

You're the man! Thanks Dennis.

silvereagle07 · 06-11-2010, 06:12 PM

Looks good Josh. It was good meeting you yesterday.

STOCKISH · 06-11-2010, 11:06 PM

You too buddy! Always good to meet another GM truck enthusiast. Let me know if I can ever do anything to help you with your truck. Hopefully I will have my truck ready for your churches next car show.

68GMCCustom · 06-12-2010, 01:19 PM

didn't your momma tell you about the internet.....and not to give people your private info and/or meet with them?

STOCKISH · 06-12-2010, 03:03 PM

Went to the U-Pull it yard today and FINALLY got the fuel lines I needed. Hope to get them cleaned and installed tonight. Got family and friends coming over so we'll see how that goes. Maybe I'll get the cab back on this weekend. Wish me luck!

tell them you have more important things to do LOL

STOCKISH · 06-12-2010, 11:43 PM

Yeah, that wont go over so well I'm sure.

STOCKISH · 06-13-2010, 05:31 PM

Good and bad news. The lines I got were off a long bed so they turned out to be totally wrong. So I took some time and bent some myself. Still need to cut them off the proper length and flare the ends but that'll happen tonight if my little one goes down in time for me to muster up the desire to go out in the garage and sweat like hell again.

Little bit at a time I guess.
