Re: pdx-sanity66
thanks Greg, It's been a long time since it resembled a truck and I'm happy with the way it's going.
Thanks, man. Quote:

The only other thing I got done this weekend is to get the lower radiator mounts measured, the holes drilled, and some paint on the crossmember. Next weekend I'll get them bolted back up.

Re: pdx-sanity66
I installed the mounts in the front holes so it did move the engine forward about 2 1/2". You can use them in the original position if you drill a hole for the bottom bolt. The upside is the room for the distributor and I just like the way it sits in the engine bay. The downside is you'll probably need to run an electric fan since the engine will be closer to the radiator. I am running the serpentine pulley setup with the reverse flow water pump and I've got 4 1/2" to work with or go with a pusher fan in front of the radiator. I've been looking at fans, though, and I can get something to squeeze one in between.

Re: pdx-sanity66
Thanks man. It was very slow moving at the start but I've been able to make great progress this summer.
I'm having a garage sale next week, Sept 5-7. Besides all the household items and misc. stuff we've accumulated over several years, I am selling some of the parts off of Sanity that I don't plan on using. I posted a partial list on the "for sale" thread but I've got a few more things also that I don't want to bother shipping such as a trans crossmember, 2 tailgates, a pair of seat tracks, and a bellhousing and flywheel. If any of you local guys want to stop by, even just to talk trucks, you're certainly welcome to do so. My address is: 1031 NE 177th Ave. Portland, OR

Re: pdx-sanity66
When you started on this, I for some reason didn't imagine you making such huge updates and upgrades. Looking at what you've done and your garage sale, Man! you are making this truck brand new. I'm still watching for your custom seat build.
Looking real good.

Re: pdx-sanity66
Yeah, I'm not having much luck. No truck guys have showed up. It would be a pity to have to scrap some of these parts but I'm not going to be able to store them so I need them gone. Sunday is bargain day for sure.
