Re: The Snortin' bull
Plumbed in air gauge's.Routing the little line's are something to watch what the they can rub on and protect them.I know some people don't like this set up and would go for full Accuair controlled though this is a budget project and a bit old school. >> Noted that now the Accuiar vu4 has pressure on both side's of the solenoid's it is not bleeding down.This drove me crazy .There where no leak's and the truck would drop overnite. Now it stay's pumped up.

Re: The Snortin' bull
Wired in the lockup release and the dual circuit stop lamp switch and got it mounted in. This is needed for the 700r4 lockup circuit.The cardboard box is the only left over part's from the start of the project.The truck was stripped for the most part.

Re: The Snortin' bull
So this is no show truck nor resto.It is done within a budget and with a lot of collected part's from the year's past.It still need's to look ok when done. Tightened up the frt. sheet metal today.These are the cab corner upper cowl cover's gapped out fairly ok.

Re: The Snortin' bull
Maybe I missed it, but are you using your factory idler arm? What center steering section are you using? What year power steering box too?
Thanks, Wade |

Re: The Snortin' bull
I ended up using 1987 c-10 power steering gearbox.Same for the idler arm.The donor front crossmember was 1987. The center link is stock using CPP tire rod adapter sleeve's for a little bling.These adapt ausing both early and later tie rods end's .Sorry for the late response though all was coming together.

Re: The Snortin' bull
Start battery in.This is the primary though a constant duty solenoid will keep the other battery charged for the compressor's.Transmission dipstick and tube in and it hide's well.Transmission cooler I am searching for a good mount location .
