Re: Project: Fun Daily Driver (Plus New QA1 Coil-Over Suspension!!!)
Alright folks, it's been a fairly productive weekend.
Since I deleted my factory heater box, I decided to install one of those mini Summit Racing heaters with a blower motor and heater core. That meant I needed to find a place for it and fab up a bracket. I ended up mounting it on the far left side of the glove box. While I'll lose some storage space (not that I use much), the two heater outlets will exit towards the center of the truck. I can drop one straight down at the trans tunnel by your feet, and the other up to the speaker grille which will exit at the windshield. The two heater lines are accessible on the right side of the unit and it will be fairly easy to make a short run to a bulkhead fitting at the firewall. I bought a 4x8 sheet of ABS plastic, so I'll be building a new glive box inner with that. Last edited by David12460; 02-18-2018 at 11:52 PM. |

Sound deadening is on the list twice. Something to cross off the list already! Nice

Working on ruffing in my Slosh Tubs firewall fillers. Makes the process of shaving the heater box so much easier....and they look awesome!

Re: Project: Fun Daily Driver (Plus New QA1 Coil-Over Suspension!!!)
killer progress on this truck. All-in to see more. Great products being used. Kinda reminds me of a mish-mash of the parts used across the Roadkill/Engine Masters/Hot Rod Garage shows. Will be nice to see them used on an every day truck.

I've been fairly quiet about it, but this truck was the development truck for the new QA1 suspension. Here is a shot of one of the first setups on the road back in 2017. Working at QA1 was an ideal opportunity to test this system and implement changes in real time. Since the truck is daily driven (and will continue to be), I would come to work in the morning with feedback. Engineering would evaluate and make adjustments as needed and I would drive it home and take notes again. Many others critiqued and contributed as well. Many with very diverse backgrounds in asphalt and dirt circle track racing, street rodders, drag racers and a host of other C10 enthusiasts. There is a big group of C10 guys at QA1, and all of our voices were heard. This continual critiquing continued for many months and many thousands of miles. In the end this real-time feedback led to a fantastic system designed around the wants and needs of a C10 enthusiast with unique features peppered in from other disciplines. I'm pretty excited about it! What will be installed this winter is a fresh production (non prototype) system. That spawned many of the "might as well" projects you see going on in conjunction.
