Re: 1961 Crew Max
Great to hear your wife is doing ok!
What are you planning for radiator and intercooler? I have seen many use the IC from dodge, mid 90s. /Thomas

Re: 1961 Crew Max
Today we were able to get the factory d-max motor mounts fited to the frame. They are massive and barely fit between the frame rails. Here are a few parts that I have got my hands on. Astro van hydro boost. 73 k5 blazer seats, cpp 20 gallon tank. More to come soon. CHIZZLER

Re: 1961 Crew Max
Didn't the D-Max donor truck have hydroboost?

Re: 1961 Crew Max
It sure did. I sold the rolling chassie and some other parts to a guy that was doing a 3/4 ton swap. He really wanted it and paid for it.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
Looks great, yes looks like we put the motors in the same spot.
I'm actually thinking of moving it 1-2" back to be able to lower it. I actually lifted the cab by an inch for now, so I did not have to cut out the are under the wipers. /Thomas

Re: 1961 Crew Max
There is a sweat spot where the front of the oil pan will be just in back of the rack and balancer just above it. It will also keep the oil and trans pan above the bottom of the frame rails. The gas pedal will be tricky. Good thing its drive by wire.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
Made some progress the last couple weekends. Got the motor mounts finished. Used the factory mounts on the motor and made our own for the frame. Today we started boxing the middle section. Going to build A inner frame stiffener to take out the potential twist of the torque monster D-max. CHIZZLER

Re: 1961 Crew Max
Looks great! I was planning on boxing my frame in similar way.
Did you have time to test fit the Astro Hydro boost before taking the cab and engine of? Really interested.. /Thomas

Re: 1961 Crew Max
Hydro boost has not been test fit yet. Once the cab is back on we will make it fit and rework brake pedal if needed. Your progress looks good.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
We were able to get some progress done over the last couple weekends. Built a full inner frame stiffener. Made the trans mount so it will unbolt and drop out from the bottom. Maybe overkill but why not. Replaced drivers rear cab mount and the new part was so bad we would of had to pie cut it three ways so we made our own. More to come. CHIZZLER
