Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build
I just used a heim joint, some all thread cut to the desired length, a coupler and some jamb nuts.

Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build
The rear axle seals were leaking, so I decided to pull the bed to make things easier. At the same time, I wanted to relocate my computer and VU4 to be better accessible. Just in case I needed access and the truck was unable to lift. This is what I came up with for a solution.
I Uses the AccuAir ECU/VU4 mount, then adapted one of our aluminum tube clamp bracket from an offload product we manufacturer. Think it turned out pretty well. Still have yet to finish, but will try and post pics when done. Ignore the dirt and dust... it is a driver. lol |

Nice Travis,
Great looking adaptation, it helps me visualize ways to do mine. Love to see more pics with an overall view when you finish up, and I'll have to think about other ways that bracket could be used.

Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build
lol... You caught me.
I did, and needed to tighten the bolts and think that is why it was "sweating" like that. On a side note, this was a pump assembly I installed, not Boyd, so I may have not tightened them quite enough to begin with. Always good to take the trucks apart and do a routine check on everything. |

Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build
Ended up switching the radiator out to a Entropy due to the dual fans. I think that will work better in the summer in keeping the condenser cooler for the AC system.

Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build
That is a good looking radiator and fan combo

Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build
Unfortunately have decided to put the truck up for sale. I have found a new project, that will haul the family a little better. Can't keep both... need to sell one to start the other.
