Thanks, I have no reason to lie about my limitations. Yes, I will be better with practice. But right now the cost would be enormous if I tried to do all my brake lines right now.

I hope your not saving receipts for everything you buy because I bet it will scare you in the end.

Glad to seee you around here again. I quit adding receipts last year. It was close to 10K not counting labor.

Did you ever find that fitting you were hunting or decide on something else?

Thanks David, I went with a different fuel pump. That fixed the problem.

Shannon came over to supervise me on my 3rd attempt on the fuel line. Bending tubing is getting a little easier, but I've got a lot to learn. Practice, practice, practice.

Yours truely.

The line is done.

SCOTI · 03-02-2010, 02:19 AM

Nice progress. The rear lines look like a quality fit.... what manufacturer?

I ordered them from truckandcarshop.com. Each line comes tagged so you have a clue to where it goes.

Got my fuel tank from ??????? today. A couple issues that I PM'd him about. Overall pleased so far. A couple issues were my fault for assuming.

The correct wheel tubs came today.

Radiator saddles and upper clamps came in today.

MacAttack · 03-02-2010, 04:54 PM

Oh wow - that juice tank and coolant assembly are outrageous!

Not quite stock - eh, Alan?

ruffrida2005 · 03-02-2010, 07:52 PM

coming along nice Alan.

ruffrida2005 · 03-03-2010, 12:11 AM

You going to leave those high speed fan straps?

198plus · 03-03-2010, 12:39 AM

Great job on everything as usual Alan

MacAttack · 03-03-2010, 11:31 AM

The tubs look sweet - and the power steering plumbing is primo!

This build's got to be made into an illustrated catalog - I'd pay $50 for it in a heart-beat. Best work I've ever seen, or even heard about.

Mac.

4dranch · 03-03-2010, 07:51 PM

Alan,
Where did Santa get the tubs from..or did you already say.

Tried to put the rear ebrake cables in tonight. They are wrong. Here is a pic of the old and the new. I ordered PN 63-15516 for 63-65 1/2 ton SB.

Updated edit. It is probably my fault. I forgot I used the 72 trailing arms. LINKY to a question I posted. Researching still.

scotts62 · 03-04-2010, 08:44 AM

Holy crap yeah id say that the wrong one too

Allan, why don't you just clean them up? I did that with both Studebaker's I did. First I wire wheeled them, then painted the housing silver. They looked almost new. Besides are you going to show it with mirrors under the truck. Just my 2 cents. I'll shut up now.

ruffrida2005 · 03-05-2010, 12:10 AM

Someone sew that guys ^ mount shut. HAHA

That's a good Idea on cleaning them. Unless you have any wires that are messed up I would clean them up.

I've only got one old one. For $20 ea I'll just get new ones so they will match.

I ordered the ones for a 72. Yes, I might use mirrors and even if I didn't they will still look. Once they (at shows) here you did it yourself they look harder for defects. They won't have to look too hard.

I figured if someone gets down on the ground to look I will just kick them in the nuts.

ruffrida2005 · 03-05-2010, 12:19 AM

Steal toes work good for that Alan.

scotts62 · 03-05-2010, 08:35 AM

Strodder · 03-06-2010, 11:27 AM

At car shows detail counts a lot, but I would kick them in the nuts anyway.

Using J clips to mount the fuel tank, because once the bed is mounted there is no access from the top to get to the nuts.

Looking down into the rail

Done. Now if I have to service it it should be able to come down fairly easy depending on how I do the filler neck.

Got the blast cabinet going, man it makes for quick work. This piece might have taken 20 seconds at the most.

Dirty vs clean

daverod · 03-06-2010, 10:22 PM

What are you running for an air compressor? Tank set up looks good.

4dranch · 03-10-2010, 12:42 AM

Nice work Alan. I have a question. when you cut such a large area in a panel does it make that area acceptable to warping or loosing it's shape?

scotts62 · 03-10-2010, 08:58 AM

That is going to look sweet!!!

my67chevytruck · 03-10-2010, 09:18 AM
