Re: "One really slow build" thread
I can't decide if I should run them outside the frame or not, but I'm gonna run em out in front of the rear wheels (But still be hidden)

Re: "One really slow build" thread
If I do run them outside the frame, I'll cut a hole in the frame & put a piece of 1/4" pipe / box the inside (for the pipe to run through)
But I think I'm not gonnna run em outside, because of the extra work (I wanna get my truck finished) |

Re: "One really slow build" thread
Well I have decided to run a "normal" fan for a while, just to get my truck on the road
I went to a show with Tav the other night & just really wished I had my truck I am getting really close, so I'm trying not to do anything I don't have to Plus it'll give me little weekend projects to do I have to finish my X-member install, hook up the drive shaft (and maybe have it cut down), do my exhaust, tweak my throttle peddle, put a new water pump on, & prolly some other things I'm not thinking of Hope to finish soon ![]() |

Re: "One really slow build" thread
Does suck about the bolt breaking - how's your access to it to be able to get the remaining portion out?
