Thanks David, returned PM.

Talked to JeffCPP he seams like he will be a great asset to us for CPP. He just signed up to the board a couple weeks ago. I'm willing to give CPP another try as long as I can deal with him.

Got a hold of the header guy, he is supposed to come buy Saturday.

I think CPP is starting to get better service. They signed up on C10forum too helping guys out. So hopefully they get better.

I have just received another order from CPP with no problems and quick shipping. Ordered my discs and rotors from CPP on a E-Bay special last summer - No problems with three different orders!
Wish I was closer to Georgia , A BBQ sounds like fun - Post pictures please
Heck with the Ground Hawg . Spring is coming !!!

Thanks to Greg65 for sending 95light my way. He bought my SWB frame. It was a pleasure meeting you Jeremy. Good luck with the frame. Thanks Greg!! More money for the project. Now I just need to prioritize my need list.

The header guy stopping by. He does more that headers. He builds roll cages, frames, narrows rearends etc. He doesn't build engines, trans or rearends for the public. Too many headaches. He's a cool guy that loves cars. He's located here in Ball Ground. I didn't know this little city had all of this talent.

He could fix my headers, but by the time I pay him and have them recoated I could have some name brands. I figured as much, but I had to check all options. Plus I added another person to my network.

On too my shopping list.

It's good to have friends with knowledge. You can't know everything.

[del66]

Alan very cool build you have going there. The dash and attention to detail is very good.

I couldn't even tell ya Alan, but it's good to see some work getting down on the truck.

[padresag]

ron

[padresag]

Thanks Ron, for the help. I faxed the deminsions over to DaveBoyd and ordered my tank. He said it should be done in 7-10 days. I just hope it fits. It's scary ordering something special order. Afraid I might have overlooked something.

Still driving myself crazy on the fuel line. I did discover a manual fuel pump that has pipe threads for the inlet and outlet. Link to Summit's PN SUM 250020-1



This will fix my AN problems at the pump. I can get a 90* pipe to AN to go up to the carb.



What about thoughts of a 1"spacer under the carb to raise the line up to clear the heater hose connection? Still thinking..........

[bubba327]

Alan, A custom tank is looking like the best way to go.. I like the size you have chosen. Any idea how many gallons that holds ??

Not exactly sure to be honest. If I had to guess, I'd say about 16-17 gals.

[ruffrida2005]

Alan that is the same pump that I'm running. Mines the 110GH though. It's made by edelbrock and says it on there.

Thanks for the heads up. I did the wrong link. I got it fixed now. Even tho it's a Summit PN it still has eldebrocks name on it? I was wandering who actually made them.

I finally got some stuff on order. Come-on Big Brown truck.

Had a nice little snow here. It's not much compared to what some get, but it made for a great photo day. Here is the LINK to some pics I shot today.

Here is a teaser shot

[greg65]

Great pictures. Today the family had a snow ball fight for the first time since moving to Georgia. My bulldog didn't know what to make of the white stuff but she played more than the kids did.

Sounds like ya'll had just as much fun as we did.

Looking for some painted bumpers front/rear for a 65 fleet. I've searched a couple places (websites). The only repops I can find are chrome. Perfer local pickup, but here is my zip just in case 30107.

[jonzcustomshop]

Thanks Jon, I feel like a big dummy. I forgot about searching LMC.

That dust boot looks like the one I should have tomorrow from Jeff. I think that one is slips over the end of the MC. Not sure, but it might work.

To me, your headers look just like the Flowtech ones.

We got snow here on Thursday night and Friday morning. I had 7 inches at my house. I do not know when we had that much before. It is rare in East Texas...Kids got out of school and work shut down, so we had some fun and threw snowballs too.

[aggie91]

Alan, Just saw this in another thread...Look at post #416 in this thread:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...200082&page=17

I looks like the same carb/fuel line you are using. Looks like his cleared that water outlet fitting...

Hope this helps you...

The angle of that boot is throwing me off. I ordered another from truckandcarshop.com among other things.

The snow was cool while it lasted.

Thanks for the link. I checked it out real quick at lunch. His water fitting is a long one. That would diffenately help. I'm going to check it out some more.

Fed-Up showed up today with some parts from Summitt.







This piece came from CPP Thanks Jeff



More parts on the way.

[ruffrida2005]

Alan where did the radiator come from?
