Re: Project 7deuce
Got most of the notch finished before I ran out of wire for the welder hopefully someone will be open today.. I cut the bed center out and dropped the bed back on but the tires hit the inside of the bedsides so it will need to be trimmed to fit. Also the truck arms hit the frame so I m gonna have to decide where to put my bags and since I ordered drop spindals for the front I may need to adda block in the rear. Thanks for the comments guys and frizz get those headders installed so I can order a set...

Re: Project 7deuce
Well tried to install the new rockers but I could not get the fit I wanted the rockers seem to be square shaped? So Im just gonna order some new rockers. Also the widened tubs are not gonna work anymore guess I should have waited to build those. I did get the bedsides notched now I just need to get the new inner pieces build like n2billet did for lucy.

Re: Project 7deuce
I finally got the bed all cut out so the it would fit back on. I finally found my poly cab mounts so I can install them and get the sheet metal lined back up. I also got so air lines ran to the front bags with a schrader valve so that I can move it around. The bed does still have to come off so that I can finish the notch but that will have to wait untill the local metal shop is open. Its low but not low enough.

Re: Project 7deuce
Got my new firewall gasket for the steering column now I just need to get the pedal assembley blasted and painted. I also blasted and painted all the little parts that bolt to the column. I have got the motor just about ready to run finally. I blasted and powder coated the power steering brackets black. I need to clean up and paint the steering pump. I got belts for it,new msd cap,and all the chrome fittings for the intake. I had to buy a carb spacer in order for the fuel outlets to clear the valve covers. I also had to shorten and rebend the fuel lines so the fuel pressure guage would clear the valve covers.

Bummer the 'goal' wasn't met. Seems it happens all too often to many of us. Keep pushing forward . . ....

Re: Project 7deuce
Got all my front clip bolts power coated along with the hood latch and support. I got my 4 core rad cleaned ,flushed,and installed with new rubbers and powder coated brackets. Picked up a rad cap with temp guage built into it and also installed my new msd plug wires with some help from my boy... Next up headders,plug wires,and hook up the power steering and maybe have her fired up
![]() edit in the pics the power steering pump is just sitting there I sstill ahve not figured out how to mount the damn thing.................

Re: Project 7deuce
Got the new air cleaner,plug wire holders and headders from summit yesterday and got most of it installed and now comes the complaints....... The patiort headders that f.f. is running im not sure why his fit so nice but I had many issues.. I had to trim the frame on the passenger side for the tubes to fit and they are very close to the starter. The drivers side fits the frame great(which tells me the motor maynot be sitting in the mounts correctly) But the colletor on the drivers side is very very very close to the lower strong arm there is gonna have to be one hell of a 90 degree bend there. Now it maybe so close to the lower arm due to the fact that I have sectioned my crossmember 1 1/2''.. Ok on to my last rant on the headers the drivers side does not match the passenger side wtf if it did it would fit perfect no issues what so ever.. On the plus side the headers look great and came with all the hardware to install them.. And these are the same ones the frizzle installed i do believe part #pte-h8013-1

Re: Project 7deuce
I got the 90's done just need to get to the local muffler company and get some pipe.. And yes the drivers side is tight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The new pipes will be above the frame so they wont get dragged off.. I also welded plated on the carrier bearing crossmember and had a buddy use his plasma to cut me two holes in it for the exhaust to pass though...
