Well a small update on parts showing up. I received my in tank pump and bracket so I can finish the fuel tank. I also just got the package from Speed & Performance with my re-flashed computer, DBW gas pedal, MAS air flow meter and my complete harness. So I should have everything I need to get it to fire up with a few runs to the local Napa but now I need to find the time. Things will be a bit slow until after Christmas because I have an ArticCat and 2 Rinos to build cages for before Christmas so they can head to the dunes and play. I have to do a shop clean up so I can get back on the 41 chevy now that I have my air system on its way as well as the SS V-clamps for the exhaust. Then I might find a few hours to start playing on the Tahoe again. Kevin LFD Inc. |

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
I wanted to say rear doors, but thought it would be funny to leave it as rear. I JUST want to see the back of the tahoe after the doors are done.

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
So after I got the cage work done on three of these ATV's I finished up my gas tank and all that is left is PSI testing and run some lines to the front. Boy is that tank heavy but being built out of 14 ga it did not warp very bad at all and sure was nice welding something thick for a change.

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
Tank turned out sweet! Do you mind telling us how much was the wiring harness for your 5.3 and for the computer re-flashing? Aslo, didnt your 5.3 came with an air flow meter sensor?

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
I dont know if you have looked at the door hinges on the new chevy extended cabs but those doors open like 180 or so and they just use two springs on bigger then the other to make it have a stop of sorts half way....I was looking at my dads new extended cab and they looked like they would do the trick...

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
Wow, what a way to spend a new years day. New to the board, and just found the thread. Just read all 897 posts. I'm gonna go out to the my garage now and burn it down, along with my junk.
Fantastic craftsman ship. I dont know how you juggle work, play and a family. What ever your secret is, keep it up. Cheers, The Drunk Pollock. |

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
Kevin,
Do you have a set of drawings for that gas tank? You think you will want to sell them on the board? Cost? You think that tank with minor mods would fit on a truck frame. I might be interested in building one like that. |

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
No problem Kevin, I was just thinking I have bunch of polished stainless sheetmetal out in my "salvage" that is around .060" thick I believe. Was hoping to put it to good use and only need to buy a few things to make it. I like the Idea of a blazer tank too. I should be able to find one of those pretty easy or even buy a new one. thanks and keep hammering on the Tahoe.
