Got my 700r4 back from transmission place. Still need a dip stick,TV cable and a switch for the lock up. Cooper said he would sell some of his demon seed to help pay for the transmission. Such a good dog.

They don't have the demon seed though. Most the time he just wastes it, but every once in awhile bang$$$$. Stuff is like white gold. That white rat might have some but I don't think so. He's got that limp wrist look to him.

I'm thinking his seed is at the dump.

Strodder · 10-15-2011, 10:38 AM

He looks like a great dog. They reflect there owners.

Thanks Guy. I love the plate look.

Someday I'll build a house covered with plates.

Picked up a EZ harness from ebay. Went with Scotts under dash mount, booster, MC and valve. Only cost about a bill more than the frame mounted kind. I think it will save me a lot of headaches.

Shut up.

Like running the brake lines? Or the mount holding the dash,or the thing that opens the cool little air vent.Haha

57truckguy · 10-18-2011, 12:39 AM

I used the EZ Wire kit for pickups, found it very easy to install.. just follow the directions, One wire at a time, take your time, and solder all connections and cover with shrink tubing. Makes it almost bullet proof..

I went with the firewall mounting booster and have been very happy with it. Felt that there wasn't enough room under the dash and wanted to get it up from the frame...

Ordered my conversion from IC Industrial Chassic in AZ, Steve great guy to work with and really into trucks.. Also got a kit to put a 95 Dodge Dakota front end under my truck without cutting the frame. 12" disk brakes, power rack and pinon stearing, and A arms. If I ever need parts just go to the dodge dealer and order.

57truckguy · 10-18-2011, 12:43 AM

Daverod, you know I keep looking at that firewall and there seems to be something missing,, must be the indiana plate...

rolling on floor laughting my a@@ off.

daverod · 10-18-2011, 05:09 PM

Done.

If it was only that easy. I knew I would'nt be the only one to have a underdash booster.

Did you look inside the cab? I'll bet I have one in there. Or in the bed of my 64.

BShort · 10-18-2011, 05:17 PM

Slick! Question, how do you add more/check brake fluid after you get everything back on the dash?

A big hypo? They make remote reservors. I don't really know. yet. I bet you could do it through the glove box. How often do you really have to fill it anyways.

BShort · 10-18-2011, 05:19 PM

Looks trick!

daverod · 10-18-2011, 05:22 PM

Makes running the exhaust easy. But it kinda opens a can of worms.

Then go fishing

Strodder · 10-18-2011, 06:32 PM

BTW, it looks good.

daverod · 10-18-2011, 06:43 PM

Mines in the mail still. Thats just a picture I found. you aready knew that though. What kinda flex plate do I need? How many teeth or does it really matter.

ruffrida2005 · 10-19-2011, 11:21 PM

Hurry up and get that thing done!

daverod · 10-20-2011, 09:02 AM

It's only time.

Layedoutsonoma91 · 10-20-2011, 02:31 PM

Daverod, I had a few questions for you if you don't mind. I know you used jeff's design for your body mounts, but Iwas wondering how well they worked for you. The Question I have is do they let you lay the truck out. I want the running boards on my truck to lay flat on the ground. I can make my s10 frame lay out pretty easily, but was wondering if the running boards are at least level with the frame using jeff's mounts, or possibly lower. Build is looking good man!

My running boards are about 1/2"above the ground when my frame is on the ground. Check the numbers on the pieces when you cut the pieces out one of them was wrong I had to recut it. Back cap should be 4x4.
