Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
Right out of the box before I even installed them they felt kind of crunchy when you moved them. An o ring seal in an aluminum bore shouldn't feel crunchy so I kind of knew there might be problems. I just need to remove them from the truck and take it all apart. I'll get good quality o rings and rebuild them with lots of care and lube. Let's hope the machining work is not the problem.

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
It sucks to read about the valve issues. Looking forward to another update when the weather warms. I completely understand, I would rather soak up heat inside than freeze in the cold shop....

TX..... bummer to hear about the valve block on top of the cold temps curbing the enthusiasm. I look forward to our next Meet & Greet to see Lemonade in person.

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
Ever consider just using the manual paddle valves?
Build a panel for the same location and send the Larry valves down the road,...

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
What did the mfg of the LL valve have to say about it? It sucks you have to get inside it to correct what could be a manufacturing problem.
I talked with my boys last night about the Decatur Swap Meet, it is the same weekend as LST down in Conroe. Looks like we are going to attend the Swap Meet. Hope to get together and meet you and the truck in person. Don't loose hope...I agree the current weather does not help your motivation when you have a shop like ours...

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
Not to go back to something you have already gone a different direction on but when you set that pan hard bar up to you set it up level and centered at ride height that is the only way it works right.So when it goes up or down it only move 1/2 as much side to side as if you set it up all the way down level or all the way up level if you follow what I am saying.
The pan hard bar on my buddy's 77 only moves about 1/2 inch side to side with 22 in rear wheels 2600 bags with the bag on bar set up.And it's pretty short and I was not fond of that. Single leaves will break its just a matter of time. Cool truck . Jake

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
Check how the pan hard bar is at an angle all the way down when the truck is at ride height it will be level and you can see the shock on this is standard not side mounted.

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
Powdercoated the original 6 inch wide steel wheels and installed the 5 dollar swap meet hubcaps. The rear tires were already on the truck. I just turned them around to be white letter in. The fronts are from Discount Tire and were 140 dollars per pair out the door. Remember this has to be cheap.
  A bit of a revival here perhaps but I was curious as to who or what you used for powdercoating? If this is asked elsewhere in the thread sorry but just reading through now and love your work for the quality and do it yourself spirit as well as budget conciousness!

I found his Instagram page unknowingly, he put an old cattlecatcher style grille guard on it. Still black and white.
