Thanks! The heat has been brutal especially with the mig torch in hand and welding mask over my face

The passenger side is now mocked up. I moved the radius elbows feeding the mufflers back so they would clear the back panel of the cab. I still need to add my v-band clamps between the dead-ends and cats.

The Boyd Welding fuel cell is scheduled to be delivered on Friday afternoon so I should be able to get that installed this weekend. I'm probably going to exit the dual exhaust out the back. I can mockup that portion of the exhaust after the tank gets mounted. Still have brake and fuel lines to run before the cab gets set on the frame.

I had some emblems get delivered, I had to see how'd they look on the fenders

LOL. If you need help next week, I might have an afternoon available. My forearms and shoulders are cursing at me as I type this.

I appreciate it Scott. :-) I am actually getting closer. I am hoping to finish the body work on the bed this weekend.

Thanks, I'm going to read through your C20 build thread here in a little bit.

Good to hear you're near the end!

**loudchevy** · 07-29-2024, 09:53 AM

Weekend progress...Exhaust is nearly complete, just need to add a couple of hangers to hold it up. I may need to rework the passenger side exit. I have about 3" of clearance between the axle tube and exhaust. I'm not really sure how much up travel these rear coils have. I haven't gone fully out the back yet as I don't have a rear bumper to help with mock up, so that last bit will have to wait. Also go the O2 bungs welded in.

The Boyd Welding fuel tank arrived on Friday afternoon and it's sexy. The boy and I got it installed that evening. It looks great sitting between the frame rails and from below.

I also sprayed some Eastwood Underhood Black on the core support. I had hit it with some epoxy months ago. I wanted to get it finished so it would be ready to bolt some fenders to it in the near future.

Goals for this week of "truck stuff" (what my wife and daughter call garage time) is to finish the exhaust, plumb fuel lines, and get the rear brake lines installed. The SS brake line kit I bought was called a disc conversion set, but that was really only for the front. The rear lines were long and meant for direct connection to drums not calipers. I ordered a shorter set from POL that will hopefully be here this week. Inching closer to the cab and fenders getting bolted together

The Boyd's tank is pretty sweet in person. One of the most expensive stickers and beer koozies I've ever bought!
