Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
As for the transmission cooling I will cancel the radiator cooling and use an external cooler from Derale with temp sender coming out of cooler. I will hard line the system

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
Thanks. No under the bed and cab I did a silver POR 15 I like the contrast it gives I didn’t want to deal with clear gettI got chips. POR 15 gives good protection and it’s way more cost effective.
See the pics below I dig that contrast

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
It took me like 3 years to find a decent tailgate. The one I had originally was beat up beyond repairs. Mind u this tail gate had allot of work done. I love the stamped letters

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
On parts that need allot of work I do them in sections or zones and close in on it. Once I lose my patience I walk away and try another day, sometimes ur just not inthe mood, if that’s the case I don’t eaven attempt to do any work.

Well we can tell it wasn't fast, but all the effort sure paid off.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
Towed the square back home. I didn’t install tail gate cus I didn’t have stainless bolts for hinges. Will do this on week end. will also install the steering column and steering wheel, maybe if I get to it install the calipers and wheels and adjust the stance on the coil overs now that it has the weight of engine.
Will wait 3 weeks before I color sand.

Got around wrapping up the rear axle . I touched up the POR15 Silver areas I installed new stainless tub bolts and finalized the brake assembly, installed the brake pads. still amazes me the hole system works. From a Frankenstein mess of parts, No assistance from a specialized team one man show

When you say tub bolts do you mean like at wheel tubs? If so, all good. Reason I ask is that Jeep guys call the main body "the tub" and I'd be concerned if you used SS bolts at body mounts. I have some on the core support of my Cutlass that I re-did the front end on a long time ago and learned I need to replace. I didn't realize at the time that the stainless bolts were not up to the strength of chassis bolts. |
