Re: Project: Recycle
That method is similar to what I was thinking if my initial attempt didn't work out. The only thing different was I figured I would finish out the flat portion between the OE runners w/some steel to match the 45° runner 'sides'.

Re: Project: Recycle
I'm still chipping away but lack pics for proof (broke my camera).
The blazer tank has the original fill line removed & a patch has been welded in place. A new 1.5" fill tube was placed toward the rear of the tank (centered). It's now welded in. I put the bed floor on & w/a 3" piece of Gates fuel line, it all lined up & worked like I hoped. I still need to figure out a ventilation system so the tank can vent during fill & breathe during use so it doesn't pull a vacuum. Thinking about setting up a charcoal canister (ala mid to late 70's GM vehicle) to 'filter' the air/fumes. I also purchased & welded in the 'studs' for my rear bag hats. Now that that's done, the rear bags are bolted in place. I received an e-mail confirmation from UPS so I should have some parts on Monday/next week. I'll update again soon after....

Re: Project: Recycle
Snowed from about 10pm Sat night until mid-morning on Sunday. I again plowed the roads w/my 74 for the cities of Garland/Rowlett early Sunday morning. It's gone already & expected to hit the 60's this afternoon....

Re: Project: Recycle
That looks like more then we got. By 11am, most of the snow on the ground was disapearing and the roads never got any coverage. It snowed all thru the day, but the temp was above freezing and nothing really accumulated after about 10am Sunday.
It is currently 66 and should hit 70 tomorrow. Texas weather, if you don't like it, wait around it will change.

We have a group of contractors working within our company that does alot of our stainless piping (there's a buuuuuuuuunch of stainless piping @ my work as it's a food manufacturing plant). They build all kinds of stuff & several of them are certified for pressure vessels which is why I just had them do it. I got some parts in today & had to break out the grinder as there was a slight interference when installing. I ran out of daylight (I was working in my driveway tonight) so maybe more progress tomorrow. I also rummaged through the previously mentioned stainless guys 'scrap' bin. They let me snag a bunch of demo'd piping of which I cut off multiple bends. So far I've accumulated 8x 90° 2.5" mandrel stainless bends. Looks like I'll be doing a stainless exhaust if I can scrounge enough pieces.... ![]()

Still no camera. Not much progress either, but a little progress is better than none.....

Re: Project: Recycle
Scoti, did you build the rear wheels like we talked about or did you have them done by a pro ?

Re: Project: Recycle
Spill it if you can. I have some steelies for my truck that I need widened to 8 inches. If you can steer me away from a bad deal I'd appreciate it.

Re: Project: Recycle
Scoti
Looks like you are doing something similar to what I have in mind. I have a set of 5 of the 6" steelies. I am looking for a "pro" to wided a pair to 10". I will be doing painted caps once I find a good set. I am also interested in getting steered in the right direction. I know that I can get OEM style wheels from Wheel Vintiques in the 5 on 5 pattern in 10" width, but they are over $100 each BEFORE powder coating and I cannot get the back space that I want. Keep up the good work...
