Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Had a great day with my son at grandpa's for some misc work on the truck. My son learned to weld and we got many little items taken care of. Found out Grandpa had a pyrometer to check true engine temp and while the truck was running 11 quarts of tranny fluid poured out all over his driveway between the tranny and engine....Just had the tranny worked on...now I am about to find out how well this guy stands behind his work....was a great day right up until the end..

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Actually yesterday, but went to Conroe Swap Meet. Found a gret chrome bumper with the guards on them and a 63 grill for a steal. Too bad I didn't sell anything .

Great Job!!! Now I've got to ask - I see the square hole on the lower left of the firewall. I take it that's where you'll be running your heater & A/C hoses? If so that means the inner fender will hide the heater-A/C hoses. Are you willing to share how you're planning on routing the hoses so the rest of us idiots can see how it's done?
Again Great Job - I've been following your build from the beginning and I can't believe everything you've accomplished in such a short time and working outside in the dirt! I feel like a lazy candy a$$ slob. I don't like working on my truck in the garage during the summer (too hot) and my excuse for the winter is it's too cold yet it's covered and I have a clean, dry, level concrete floor to work on. I'm beyond impressed with all you've accomplished.

That is actually the passenger side entry of the wiring harness. The Heater and AC hoses will go in just above and to the inner side of the harness. If you notice the drivers side is also located under the inner fender. It was relocated a few inches to the right..

I havent landed on what type of connectors I am going to use. But the inner fender will hide all the hoses. The hoses will exit the engine bay up just in front of where the batter box used to be. So the plan is to use three hoses for each with two sets of through firewall fittings. One set through the firewall and the other through the inner fender. The battery will be relocated under the bed.

Cool Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Well, not today but over the span of a week or so and a couple of revisions I made my brackets to install my 96 Lincoln Mark VIII cooling fan. With the A/C on & idling in traffic or the drive through in the summer (tripple digits) my truck runs a lot hotter than I like so I decided to go with an electric cooling fan. I researched it a lot on the internet and from what I read a 1993-1998 Lincoln Mark VIII or 1988-1995 Ford Taurus cooling fan is the way to go. The Lincoln MVIII proved to be the better fit for our trucks. From what I read on the net there are conflicting statements that MVIII fans are single speed & two speed fans. All the fans I looked at had 3 leads off the motor. When testing the motors at the junk yard, every one I tested when applying power to the center lead (using my 18V Dewalt Cordless battery) nothing happened. Removing the small inspection cover off the back of the motor revealed the center lead goes no where. Hence a single speed fan. Don't believe everything you read in the different forums. I can only tell you what I've experienced maybe some are 2 speed fans. I also read to use a fan relay from a 92 & newer Volvo this is a very neat & compact set up. One main hot lead in, the 2 center ones will complete the ground to fire the relays & 2 leads out to the fans. Since my fan is single speed I'll only use 1/2 of the relay. I grabbed several while I was in the yards, they some how fell into my pockets. No one tells you where these Vovlo relays are located. Some are mounted on the passenger side of the fan shroud at the top of the shroud, they just slide in the shroud. Others are located on the passenger side & mounted to the lower side of the radiator support on the engine side.
I bought my fans for $17.00 each during a 1/2 off sale at the local self serve wrecking yard. OK, I've been told I'm so cheap I can squeeze 2 dimes out of a nickle but if you watch the pennies the dollars take care of them selves.
Back to the fans. I folded up some stainless sheet on the brake at work & made some standoffs from stainless rod & tapped them 1/4 x 20 - you can also make standoffs using 1/2" schedule 40 PVC pipe or nipples, a light tap will set them over a 1/4" nut and instead of folding up sheet steel you could use some light 2" angle iron. I had to trim 1/2" off the top & bottom of the shroud to clear the radiator tanks and I had to trim some to clear the radiator hoses but once installed it looks almost factory. A little satin black paint on my brackets & it will be pretty well hidden to the casual eye.
I found a temperature switch to turn on the fan from Summit for about $24.00 if I remember correctly but I'm waiting until I get a full order before I send for it. I'm sure not going to pay an $11.00 handling charge for a $24.00 part so I'm going to wait until I have at least $100.00 worth of junk to buy before placing an order. Again I'm CHEAP!!!

Smile Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Not today but Saturday I picked up a complete wiring Power Window/Door lock harness out of 75 C-10. only one wire had been cut - I think it's constant power to the door lock relay. I got the wiring, wiring conduits, lock solenoids, switches & relays and even picked up a passenger side cowl extension with no antenna hole off a 61 C-10. Grand toatal $44 and some change. It was another 1/2 off weekend at the local self serve wrecking yard. I plan on installing power windows & locks in my 64 C-10, now I just need to find a good deal on power window assemblys.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

nice score. I remember reading something about the mark 8 fan.I think it had something to do with the slow start feature. the fan comes on slow and speeds up to cool as needed. cotrollled be thermo.dosent draw as much amperage all at once.will definitely be saving your install tips when we get this far along.I got kinda lazy researching a radiator fan combo on the last project and spent almost 1 k on the set up.nothing wrong with shopping for bargains
