Some of the things I did for the fuel system include lining the fuel tank, moving the fuel pump behind the cab, adding 3/8 SS fuel lines and a Fram filter.
Were the fram filter is now, is were the fuel pump use to be.[IMG]

After going thru the trouble to get a F-2 crossmember I've decided to modify this one. Just cut along the doted line. http://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gall...224013.520.390

 

Now I can start to route the wire on the firewall, and plug some of the holes.[/IMG]

 

Wow, all of your progress is looking awesome. keep up the good work and posting updates and pictures.

I really need to spend more time in the garage, speaking of which I picked up a small 220 15amp heater for the garage and hooked it up last week, it suprisingly really warms up quite bit so now I can hopefully get more done this winter.

Is that dynamat self adhesive so you can just stick it to the bottom underside of your cab? will it be covered by something? I would worry it would trap moisture underneath it? or am I looking at the wrong thing?

Cheers

Josh

 

Thanks Josh. The dynamat is self adhesive and some pretty sticky stuff. I use a roller get rid of air pockets. No I'm not going to cover it up because I'm not worried about it there is no way moisture can get under this stuff. Just remembered I have the dynamat on the roof too, on the inside.

 

I found you!

Hey these are great picutres. I'm impressed with how "clean" your workmanship is. I'm getting close (huh!) to getting my inner cab done during the "winter" here. So, I will be asking youabout your processes with the insulation.

Keep charging!

PS, "Snow?" What's that?

 

It's come to the point were one has to make up your mind about lowering the truck. I've decided to go for it. For the front-end I'm keeping a solid axle and have choose one from http://www.roadsters.com/axles/. Pretty much old school for the front. As for the rear I've decided on a kit from http://www.chassisengineeringinc.com/page39.html a little more modern approach. I will also be adding a sway bar out back. What say you? Now if I could only get some money from the obama stash I could chrome plate the front too!

 

[/IMG]Last couple of days progress pix's, first is the missing center section of the tranny crossmember. Making some room for the T-19.

 

I found some small chrome plug at the local HD dealer for the firewall. Also freshened up the throttle arm, horn relay, wire clips and the Ford tag. If you wondering whats with the blue tap, thats the new SS fuel line and I will be installing the regulator tomorrow. I hope before the end of the week the new motor will be in the frame. [/IMG]

 

[/IMG]here's a better shot of the work.

 

How much do youwant to lower it down? Two inch drop axel and reverse eye springs on the front ought to be perfect - about 3"!

 

The information I've gotten about and from Chassis Engineering is a drop of 2-4 inch. I think 3 would be idea, 4 would be ok too.

 

The last couple pieces of the fuel system are now in place.
