Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
I really dont use the air in any of my dads cars when I cruise them. thats why i chose no air. I will probably add air later on though, no heater or defrost, just air.

Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
more line....been drilling and tapping holes like crazy. The airlines are basically done. The brake lines are 95%. The fuel lines are just started and run over the notch. Need to figure out how Im going to connect them to the tank and how I will finish them to the engine. the pics are confusing so bare with me.

Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
you mentioned that you put dodge brakes on the 12 bolt, what dodge has the correct bolt pattern. like the under dash brake setup and impala wheel. reall great looking project and keep the pic's coming.

Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
lol, yeah weird.
Im currently waist deep in modding my t56 for center shift and it sucks. Very bad. And that is just a regular ls1, for now. But I thinking ~1.5 liters more displacement and twin hairdryers would make it move nicely. Not sure how crazy I want to go yet. either way for now its just an ls1, and I have a wild cam to put it in. |

Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
gettin back to work.
bolted the IAT in the air filter and it hit the TPS, so I worked on that tonight. how it looked...  inside view which raises the concern I had of drilling through that lip and not having the bit walk.  in the drill press..  shot of the hole and the bit I used..  back cut the lip...  tapped  assembled  IAT and new blue plug...

Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
very nice build you have there, nice and clean and i will agree with you on the color choice, it can be heck to spray, but a beautiful color, hardlines are ran real nice.

Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
we had an s-10 in the shop that is a total so I took the PCM mount out of it.
  air filter mounted...also see the steam line I ran in the water pump...   fan controller...  started to run the vacuum line for the booster...    and started to section the dip stick... cut...  in pieces...  I was going to weld it all back up and section the actual dip stick tonight when I got home but its like 1:20am and I want to go to sleep. will update tomorrow.

Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
looks good, I like the hard lines, Spal makes good stuff, I have their dual fans on my vette but they had troubles with the electronic controller. it had a high failure rate. they even quit selling it at one time. they were having it made by someone else. mine use a simple temp probe and a relay to turn them on like this
http://www.speedwaymotors.com/SPAL-F...NSOR,5350.html if they are selling them again they might have the problem fixed. just wanted to give you a heads up.

Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
pcm mounted...
  spot the battery...  just a reg napa...no real power demands in this truck so I really dont feel a super duper optima or the like is worth it.  preweld fit of the dipstick tube...  to shorten the actual dipstick I first drilled a new roll pin hole  then drove the tiny tiny roll pin out and took the handle off...  trimmed it and reassembled...  took like 7" out of it...  whole thing...

Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy
took the water pump off and popped the fittings out...
 then tapped them for pipe thread so they can be plugged...  that stuff and a few other things were all for today. Tomorrow the wiring that controls the engine will be finished. Which means Im waiting on a bunch of fittings that I ordered tonight and to tune my computer and she should run. |
