Are you using the factory A/C from the 6.0 or is that Vintage Air? How does all of that tie into the cab? It looks like the factory fan box isn't there, can't really tell from the angles of the pics. What hydroboost brake system is that - did it come from Wilwood? |

The hydroboost is out of an Astro with a Willwood master. Stock 71-72 front disks and Caddy rear disks. I have two Spal two speed fans on an ebay aluminum radiator. I have the computer control Fan1 and Fan2 on low speed and a seperate sensor controls the high speed on Fan1 and Fan2 I used LT1swap.com instructions to modify the old harness and sent him the cpu to flash. Thanks for the nice comments.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Thanks, I credit the ebay aluminum intake, it sure beats the stock black plastic one for looks.

![]() I took a round file to remove the barbs that remained from the bit. It was a really tight fit so it doesn't move around inside the hole, I just got it in there, I started to hook up the wires, but when I started looking at the wiring, it was quite obvious that whoever installed the radio (non factory, i don't think a dealer did it either), there was a nest of wires, a lot of them were cut and hanging loose, so I need to chase them out and see what goes where and remove wires that are not necessary. Nothing can ever be easy! You may be able to use a small grinding wheel on a Dremel tool to make the hole larger, mark the hole needed then cut, this would also allow you to leave the sides flat so the power adapter is "keyed" into the hole. Thanks guys! Last edited by matthamby; 12-08-2016 at 09:37 AM. |

RE: Bed Wood :
Is that some sort of one piece bed ? . My '69 has the usual planks and metal strips . This looks like the basis for a beautiful custom (non work) bed floor .

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I went out and spun mine over. Hasnt ran for awhile since the brakes went out. Decided it needed to run for a little bit and shake the mice out of it. Fired right up in the cold weather and let her get up to temp before shutting it down again.

Yes it lays over the top of my metal floor, if I need to haul something I can remove the wood floor in less than 5min... thinking I may have some pinstriping done on it before we lay the epoxy over it again |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
the heat from welding the nuts on is whats helping break the others loose. find something to fit kind of tight into the hole of the drilled stud, heat it with a torch to transfer the heat throughout the bolt, remove the ( something), and try the easy-out while its hot...
