Amazon has really grown on me... I found a really nice coolant reservoir from Amazon made out of stainless steel with a sight glass/tube.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
That's a lot cooler than mine. I order almost everything from Amazon or eBay. They have all the big venders on there and it's a one time card entry. I hate typing in my info all the time. I'm even an Amazon prime member. Pretty awesome!

What are you doing for your battery? Sorry if I've missed it through the build.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
I ended building one out of 1/4" aluminum plate and mounting it on the passenger side of the frame behind the cab. I wanted to make sure my +/- cables ran the same side as the starter. I made sure I grounded my cab, core support and engine to the frame. I also ran battery cables up to my engine harness/ECM connection behind my glove box.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
I read through the reviews before I ordered it and there was some negative feed back because there was no way for the coolant to return to the radiator, so people added a hose inside the reservoir to fix the problem. The one I ordered showed up with the fix already

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Mike, I forgot to mention, make sure you purchase the suggested clamp (moroso part number 63401) because the one that comes with it is really cheesy like the reviews said.
Here's a picture with the pickup hose in it.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Thanks for the info on the tank and hose Mark. I didn't realize until last night I have a battery right in the way of the recovery tank. I may have to come up with another plan.
Great job relocating the battery. I forgot you had done that. |

I ordered the rest of my bed parts so I can send them to my painter and finally put my bed together. I am looking at going with "Birds Eye Maple" for my floor.

Yesterday My IDIDIT tilt column came in. I was able to get into the truck last night. Now I'm waiting on my Grant steering wheel and installation kit to show up. I also ordered my AAW harness and Dakota Digital VHX instruments. After all of the research they seem to be the two best choices. I also like the fact everything is made in the USA
