Re: No Limit's "K-10"
Shots during the final push. 1. From the bottom you can see the floor layout, and exhaust path back and to the pass side. 2. from the bottom side, the rear end, fitted tank and air ducts for the radiator. 3. lots of insulation going in.

Re: No Limit's "K-10"
1. some foam going on the dash. Odd looking, but I can see the Tach and speedo at a glance, no blocking from the steering wheel. 2. No Limit fabbed alt. mount. Old school adjustment. 3. No water pump up front = lots of plumbing off the block.

Re: No Limit's "K-10"
1. On the pass side cyl head, I mounted the KRC power steering pump. 2. Drivers side header with the 'hot-dog' loop, needed to fit in for tube length and the plugs. The headers are try-Y design, mostly for packaging. 3. Pass. rear corner, with battery, fuel pump and wiring, Yes, we did clean this mess up, looks much more organized now.

Re: No Limit's "K-10"
1. shot of the rear just as we're wrapping things up. 2. the rear gate will have mesh grills soon, to help clean up the rear. 3. On the hard cover, we used 3m adhesive to hold the skins on, this stuff is way strong.

Re: No Limit's "K-10"
1. This is the hard cover frame with the skins next to it. The skins are 'Alumna-lite', a sign board material made of thin aluminum bonded to a layer of abs corrigated sheet. 2. the cover with the skins on. the white is a baked on finish, later we will wrap this to better match the truck. 3. the cover in place on the truck. The cover wieghs only 28 lbs total, not to bad.

Re: No Limit's "K-10"
OK, I usually don't like people to see our shop like this, but this is what happens late at night, with a few hours to go. pict 1 is at apx 11:00 pm on thursday night. From left to right, Mike (Sullivan) eating and checking the rear relay stack, Edwin color sanding with 1500, Carl, the super-tuner, working on the ECU, and wild Bill greasing up the IFS, getting ready to hang sheet metal. - notice that is really dark outside. 2. Monday morning, in the bomb testing area, time to clean up.

Re: No Limit's "K-10"
Since this is a really big learning experience for me with all the new stuff, I thought I'd pass on some of the info. This will be scattered in for the next few years. First off, How did the weekend go? - really? Pretty good. I was nervous about a lot of things, mostly gears, cooling and the suspension. And, did we tighten up all the bolts. So, nothing fell off, and it turns left and right. The cooling works very well, but, it makes me nervous knowing if its on or not. So, we'll be adding some indicator lights into the dash to tell me when the pump and fan are on. That brings up a question, why doesn't Autometer or VDO put turn sig and high beam indicators in the speedo? I used a 3/4" clutch master, as recomended, and the new McCloud hydrolic throwout bearing. It works good, but needs a lot of pedal travel, this may be fine in the average truck or car, but I'd like to have the pedal heads even for quick foot action. So, I'm going to try a 7/8" clutch master, and hope that it's not too hard to push, - it's really easy now so a little firmer would be good, but not too much. I will be finishing the interior and door panels soon, and decided to put a pocket into the door panel for a temp gun, a tire pressure guage and a log book. - never have a place for them. Anyway, the first time out was a big hit. We heard VERY encouraging comments, and thank you guys for them too. Next comes the Truckin' Throwdown, we'll be taking both trucks, the 'Bullit, and the new C-10, 'HellBoy'. We've got about 5 weeks to get ready, and lots to do. I'll keep ya posted.

Re: No Limit's "K-10"
Hey Rob instead of changing out the clutch master cylinder, you could just move the push rod away from the pivot on the foot pedal giving you the travel you will need on the 3/4" master. Just an idea.
The only part that sucks, is that I was on a food run on Saturday when you took the truck for a "loop", I heard that it was very exciting with the spins. I can see were your saying about the springs getting sorted out. How was Tina with the ride.....lol. Just make sure to get it worked out by next Sept, I want it to be perfect when I get to make a lap in it on the Labor Day Cruise.........hee hee hee Great job on the truck, I am still shaking my head at it's 2800 lbs curb weight.

Re: No Limit's "K-10"
Hey Rob was great talking with you in Del Mar. HellBoy is going to be a real fast truck no doubt. Truck did very well for the first trip out and looks great. A bit of tweaking and it's gonna be a bullet. Go and kick the crap out of those Camaros and Vettes! Very nice job to you and your boys,

Re: No Limit's "K-10"
It's a Wilwood tandem pedal set with a balance bar. 3/4" front, 7/8" rear. It feals good, takes a bit of adjustment to get it right.
