Front wheels are ordered. Should have a roller in a month or 2.

Started installing the tank and compressors.

[WTF?]

With the engine setup, what cam are you running? Who is doing the tuning? You could mill .030 and it would be just fine. Who will be doing the tuning? How big are you going on the camshaft? A Texas Speed 228R is a nice lopey cam that doesn't kill torque, and is easy to tune. Nice build. I'm jealous.

Looking good!

Not sure on the cam or tuning yet. Trying to focus on turning my pile of parts into a roller.

Something with a nice lope and lots of torque down low would be ideal. I want something that will work fine with the stock converter

Thank you! And thanks for the great prices on my Billet Specialties wheels and my Accuair suspension. Laidbackrecreations rocks!

Very nice! Are you keeping the gas tank in the cab?

I plan on running the boyd tank in the rear. It's hard to tell in the pics but the tank and compressors are raised up. I'm hoping I have clearance. According to the tank dimensions I should have room.

Thanks, I plan on running a Boyd tank in the rear as well and like the way you mounted up your Accuair.

Let's just hope my measurements are close lol. I do have another inch to work with height wise. I need to order a tank soon, I want to make sure it fits before I start bending tubing for the air lines.

4l80e has been acquired. Time to do engine stuff so i can get it in and have a driveshaft made.

Nice build, I'm following.

It finally has cab corners. They are just tacked on but the hard part is done.

Nice Job

Has anyone repinned the 12 pin connector that plugs into the side of the VU4 manifold so they could run the hardlines symmetrical.

2 rear lines on the outside ports and fronts on the inside ports

The way it is set up is the 2 front bags are the 2 left ports and the rear is the 2 right ports. It is impossible to route the lines so both sides are symmetrical. You have to jump the lines over each other. As clean and as well thought out as the elevel kit is, I sure don't understand the placement of the ports.

I think I can repin the connector to change the location of which ports go to which bags. I just can't figure out how to get the 12 pin connector apart.

Good video but what you're after starts at the halfway point. It's a deutsch plug commonly used by Harley Davidson. Nice truck. You seem to be at the same place I'm at in my build.

Awesome thanks man! That video is exactly what i needed. I looked all over for info on that plug. I owe you a beer

I'm ready to put the swagelok bender to use. Going to get my airlines ran next. Also, just got confirmation that my front wheels have shipped!

[69short]

Started practicing bending some lines for the air management. I just need to order the correct fittings. Accuair sent me 1/4" fittings with the 3/8" VU4 manifold.

[69short]

Got the front wheels today and got them mounted. Are most of you cutting the inner fenders out for clearance? I'm about 4 inches from laying the front all the way down and the tires are hitting the bottom of the inner fenders. (See pics)

20x8.5 5.25bs 255/40r20 with 1" narrow PB control arms and modular spindles which should bring the front in even more. I looked at the hazel build but I didn't see anything about Keith cutting his fenders.

[Bennett68C10]

Yeah, your going to have to cut your fenders to clear the tires! What are you planning on running for inner fenders?
