Because I did'nt want it on the firewall and I did'nt think I would have enough room to run my exhaust past it if I put it on the frame.

daverod · 11-26-2011, 07:57 PM

One more thing to cross off the list.

Cameron 1137 · 11-26-2011, 08:39 PM

sweet!

Strodder · 11-26-2011, 09:15 PM

I like the old school gas gauge.

Alan's Classic · 11-26-2011, 09:19 PM

Cool tank

daverod · 11-26-2011, 09:19 PM

I need to buy a shifter for my 700r4. How do I know if I need a cable operated one? Or would ether kind work? Whats the difference between the two cable/mech?

jmcleek · 11-26-2011, 10:22 PM

Cable shifter are more flexible as to where you mount them,only require the the hole for the screws that mount them to the floor and a 3/8 hole for the cable can be mounted to flat or curbed floor, with littel space under the floor.
Shifter with rods are limited by the routing of the rods and space between floor / or tunal and tranmission , and need to be on the same side of the transmission as the shfter lever on the trans..

daverod · 11-27-2011, 01:12 AM

Thanks Bud.

Guess I'll get a cable one that way I'll be able to move it a round alittle. I want to keep the bench seat I was kinda worried that the stick might hit the seat. Think I'll get the 32" Lokar.

Strodder · 11-27-2011, 12:15 PM

Just make sure you don't make the cable bend too much. They tend to break. At least they did on the B&M did on my Belair.

protrash64 · 11-27-2011, 09:26 PM

Great thread Dave!!!!! I didnt realize you had this much work going on with the '52. Cant wait to see it in one piece!!

daverod · 11-27-2011, 11:09 PM

Thanks Trash . Now you know I haven't had much $$ for my 66. Hope to have it running this sunmmer. Might have to steal some air stuff off my 66.

protrash64 · 11-28-2011, 11:32 PM

I have three trucks too.......stealin' parts has been known to happen!!

daverod · 11-30-2011, 10:58 AM

Got a buch of parts coming. Ordered a Lokar 32" shifter, transmission dip stick,TV cable and a electric fan. Now I just need some time.

Parts list is getting smaller though.

daverod · 12-18-2011, 09:01 PM

Winter here, hope to get some things done on my truck. Put my shifter on my transmission. Moved my vent handle to the other side. In the process of mounting my gas tank.

Just remember to be good ...or at least careful!!

C@rnut001 · 01-01-2012, 11:03 PM

You are building an awesome '52 here...Keep up the great job. You have gotten a lot accomplished....keep it up in 2012!

daverod · 01-02-2012, 12:03 PM

Two days to get this far. Started off with no plan that was part of the problem. After lots of welding and grinding and cutting. Ended up with this.

First plan forgot about the pumkin moving up and down. After making room for the pumkin the second failed plan forgot to leave room for the shocks. After starting over, we're going with the 3rd plan. Still subject to change.

Strodder · 01-03-2012, 12:05 PM

Here's one I did. Just an idea.

daverod · 01-14-2012, 11:42 AM

Got my accua air stuff all hooked up. Got some rear shocks on working on the front shocks. Drivelines next.

daverod · 01-15-2012, 02:01 PM

scratchin my head on where to mount the front shocks?
