Hey B, are those fronts on backwards? (You know why I am asking, right?)

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7
okay, got the shocks on and got the upper shock relocators on but now I'm pulling my hair out by trying to get this tank in. Called Tim and he tried to explain it over the phone but I'm not grasping it. Thought I'd take a pic and see if anybody could help. I'm sure it's common sense, but well you know. Tim said it went from right to left if that helps. I assumed that meant that the J-hooks went on the pass side.
Just not understanding the straps. They are different then any of the other ones I've seen in other threads.

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7
Don't ya just bolt the driver side of the strap up to the fraame, then put the J bolts in the passenger side, then set tank up where it belongs and hook the J into the passenger side end of the straps?

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7
I bought a 69 blazer tub once that was shaved of everything doors and tailgate welded up too. windsheild was chopped 8" and leaned back. It had a huge consel that went front to back the inside was all flat sheet metal on the sides and doors. It was full on roadster status with some unusual exterior body mods.
I bought it thinking I could UN-do most of it and use the tub for my 72 4x4 blazer. In the end I hauled it to the scrap yard cuz 1) it was too much work and 2) I couldnt sell it or give it away at the time. It was rather hideous truthfully. You could hardly tell it was a 69-72 blazer. BUT every since then I thought it would be sweet to have a nice 2wd blazer minus all ( or at least most) of the mods that one had. VERY COOL! |

I hate when people say that. Bolt the left side up, NOT tight, just enough to hold that and the tank in place. Install the J bolt, then lift up the strap and put it in the j bolt. Tighten as necessary... Sometimes you will run into things that are SUPER easy but will just stump you.. Mine for example was removing the cigarette lighter... 2 hours later a buddy came over and had it out in 35 seconds. ahaha Keep up the good work man. |

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7
thanks lyrikz, I know how people are on here. Just like our mother's said "if you have nothing to say nice then..." Yes, pretty embarassing that I put the whole front end together bu can't figure out how to put in the gas tank. I appreciate the help, never understand why people won't answer board members easy questions, it's like they're trying to teach them a lesson.
Yes, I think they are bent backwards. I'll try it and picturing it like that seems like it will work.

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7
OK guys, been up since Monday at 2:30. When I got off this morning, I had to do the route all day and my mother wanted to take us out for my dinner for fathers day....so naturally, I chose Toots again. Got home around 9 pm and saw my rear end out behind the garage. So it didn't matter how tired I was....I wanted to attempt to get it installed. I ended up crushing 3 fingers on my left hand between the trailing arm and the concrete floor. I got both of the u bolts through, but need new nuts that I will get tomorrow at Ace. Then I realized that rear disc brake brackets and spacers were put on wrong. The spacer was put on first instead of the bracket. I'm sure that he already filled it with fluid, so it will be a mess to fix. I'm going to install the rear end and bags and deal with that while its on the frame. I will get some pics up tomorrow of the progress I have made.
P.S. My fingers hurt so bad that Mandi had to type this........So she says that is why this paragraph is punctuated correctly Going to bed _________________

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7
5150, the roadster is coming along very nicely, i just look thru your thread again and dont know if i over looked it or just isnt in here, but what size tires are you running front and rear? I read your running a 20/22 combo but didnt see the tire size.
Thank you, Phil |

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7
Got the brake lines done and the bags plumbed. So far they're holding good air through the schrader valves. We'll see in the morning if the pressure is the same. Got it outside to take some better pics and to pull the tarp out to clean all of the shavings and crap that I've dropped on there in the past 10 days.
Also got the motor bolted in but don't have the tranny cleaned up yet.

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7
I just wired mine up tonite. Looks to be the exact same setup as yours. Stole mine off a '94 S10 Blazer 4.3 Vortec. The 'L' terminal needs resistorized(?) 12V switched; the 'F' terminal gets 12V switched. I used a resistor from Radio Shack to simulate the light bulb for the 'L' circuit- everything I've read says without the resistor or bulb the regulator will meet an early demise...
