Shannon came over and helped me get a little more done. Worked on getting the bottom cap fabbed up and fan mounted.

Here's the deminsions of the bottom cap



Done and installed



I lined up the fan assy and traced the outside of it then used this big compass to scribe a line 3/4" to the inside.





Cut opening for the fan and drilled the mount holes.





This is far as we got last night. Discovered that the upper radiator hold downs interfer with the front shields that bolt between the radiator support and the headlight mount panel.

Back a couple of months ago when I put the brakes together I may have been paying attention but when I read your post it caught my attention b/c I just didn't remember them being threaded differently. Never hurts to double check.

Oh by the way your build thread is awesome and helpful. I've back read up to page 40 or so... like the videos.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

I riveted the lower supports in place.



Secured the wire



Top cap bent and installed.



The upper clamps are off center because I'm trying to decide which way to install them. I like the one on the right because it mounts more to the end of the radiator, but will have to modify the shield. The one on the left will be easy to do, but it seams like it is too close to the middle. I'm leaning to the one on the Left.



Any suggestions for the lower radiator hose? The cooler lines are out of place because they aren't hooked up.



Got the filler neck welded. It looks like it is really close to the floor, but there is room to accomendate the hose and clamp.





Started laying out a pattern for the panel inside the bed arounf the filler neck.



Oops, I messed up



I've got more pics coming next

Redesigned the pattern, I did not provide measurements because every install might be a little different.



More better

I say the one on the right. Assume you spent 5 yrs restoring the truck and keep it for 15 years after that. If you need to spend 8 hrs modifiying things to make it work, that is 0.45% of your time was spent making it the way you feel looks better.

How true.

Here is another fuel neck out of a late model ford super duty. It has a round door just haven't cut the door out of the bed yet. The tube is a lot longer than the one I had.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10

Hey Alan,

That fan shroud is so nice it makes me want to do mine over, keep the inspiration coming.

I had a tough lower radiator hose situation on my LS swap. I used a stainless tubing 90 degree elbow and two silicone adapters. It looks like you could use one elbow and two straight adapters. Just something to think about.

I think you are right. I was thinking about taking the easy road, but now leaning to the hard road. Why change the way I do things now.

It wasn't beginners luck. I was able to make another one exactly the same. My confidence has increased.

So does that mean some of these will be 4sale? I could really use that setup for my build.

Hey Alan remember I dared you to do it. I'll PM you my addy.

And you better not take the easy way out on the mounts. You will regret it later down the road.

I'll have to check the forum rules to see if I have to be a vendor to sell a few of these.

I remember the dare.

I moved the mounts to the outer position which brought up another issue I haven't mentioned. The radiator is offset to one side to clear the battery box.



With it being offset caused the fan to be offset. It really doesn't bother me because you have to look straight down on it to really notice. If the battery was relocated then the radiator could be centered. If not the fan could be centered on the engine with some thought.

I know it will bug the crap out of you Alan, but I dont think anyone would even look at it after everything else on your truck.

Once I get my Radiator I'll hit you up for getting a shroud.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10

You could relocated the battery behind the seat and then center the Radiator. This may also cause you to need to add a second battery behind the other seat for symmetry.

Truthfully I think it looks fine. I just want your build to go on until I can start mine. I really enjoy reading it, and seeing how you handle some of the challenges. At this rate I need you to stretch it at least 2 more years.

Thanks TR, sorry I missed your post earlier. I might have to do something like that. The water pump inlet is 1 3/4" and the radiator is 1 1/2". I will let y'all know.

Stretching it 2 more years shouldn't be a problem. If I work like I worked tonight..............

Is there such a thing as writers block when it comes to working on these old trucks? I get it every no-and-then. I get out to the shop and just sit there and think. My mind gets so busy I can't focus on one thing.

So I took my welder/plasma cart apart to improve it.
