Re: Rottenwood Garages C50 Hauler project about to begin!
We are at about 500 miles. This thing runs great! Im so pleased with it so far. Shake down has only shown a few things and they were fixed immediately.
The third member it came with was noisy so I swapped it out with one in inventory and and an oil cooler line that was leaking was replaced. Today we plan on finishing off the stereo system to include the header speaker system and working on the gauges...factory and aftermarket. I look forward to seeing how the Speedhut speedo converter works!! For any of you local Atlanta guys we will be at "Caffeine and Ferraris" (Octane) tomorrow morning and I plan on driving it with something strapped on its back.

Had some fun this morning at Caffeine and Octane. The old wedge found favor with the promoters of the event!! Look for it coming soon on Caffeine and Octane TV.

Re: Rottenwood Garages C50 Hauler project about to begin!
Nothing to report this weekend. We are gathering parts for the AC and hunting new tires. I should have all the gauges finished next weekend.

Re: Rottenwood Garages C50 Hauler project about to begin!
We spent the day working on the gauge wiring. Factory tach, fuel gauge, along with the others and mounted the speedometer box and started to wire it. Getting it ready for the Street Rod Nationals in Louisville.

Re: Rottenwood Garages C50 Hauler project about to begin!
Nice shop I've been working on mine. I've got to see a lot of old-timers shops that used ways on how to save time space in their shops. I come across them Card file metal cabinets So I sorted all my bolts that I've collected over the 25 years being in the scrap and salvage business. I hang my wire above me all my water hoses are above me anything I can just tug on and pull the right length is best done that way I will get you a pic later In my shop Time is the Issue no need trying to find some that will take you 30 mins to find. Get projects done faster.

Re: Rottenwood Garages C50 Hauler project about to begin!
Compact 2. Its about the only thing I found that will actually fit. Even the under dash kits were too big due to the lack of room under the dash of these medium duties.

Re: Rottenwood Garages C50 Hauler project about to begin!
I have used Old Air too. Each company has their pros and cons. Actually had trouble with both the Vintage and Old systems and had to return one and have replacement parts for the other. Old Air customer service was lacking.
Remember to buy a small unit as there is no room under a medium duty. You will also have to delete your passenger air vent if you are going with this style.

Re: Rottenwood Garages C50 Hauler project about to begin!
We are finishing up the small things for our trip to Louisville to the Street Rod Nationals. I got the rear wheel simulators on, the one needed lower ball joint is going in today and an alignment will come this week. New tires all the way around, air horns hooked up, trans temp and back up fuel gauge wired and the bed extension and headache rack converted to bumper stop has been roughed in.
