Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Hey Kustombrad! I've been following your build (silently)for over a year now, and I think the truck turned out GREAT! If I may ask....it looks like you put a new rear leaf spring kit in your truck at some point but I didn't read any where who's kit you used. Is it a TCI? I was also wondering what the length of those springs are from eye to eye. I am thinking about buying a TCI unit for my 46 but my springs are 54" long and TCI's are listed at 48". I just wanted to make sure I am ordering the right kit. Thanks Stan Z.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Yo Paint! Yes, they are TCI drop springs (I still put the axle on top AND used 3" blocks) to get the look I wanted. It's too cold to climb on the floor right now and measure it! I'll check when its not so cold.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Just read through 22 pages of your build. Great read! You have so many clever ideas and patient, well thought out execution that it's kinda spooky!
 Love the truck, if my daughter saw it she would beg me to build her one like it (as if I could). Great work, and enjoy that thing!

The original was 5/16" which is only good for about 250 hp and not nearly enough for what I needed. I bent up a 3/8" line and ran it parallel with the original (had to leave it in because the sending unit is attached to it) drilled a hole up top and ran it over to my fuel line. I now need to cut the extra off the eye bolts and screw in the fuel tank ground for the gauge.
