Nice work. I like the dash. Should work great and stil look stockish.

Thank you.

 

Nice work! A few things. I either didn't have that issue with the springs and dream beams or it doesn't matter.

I recently switched to Hagerty insurance, seemed the best for me if you actually drive your stuff though mine only does about 3k a year.

I replaced my steering coupler (rag joint) with a dorman one that is composite rubber/fiber. My stock one was wasted and appeared to be made out of gummy bear material.

ok I found an old pic from my build and it jogged my memory.






the bottom coils do touch but doesn't matter as they are "dead" and don't compress. This setup has about 10k miles on it now. No issues other than tie rod adapters that loosen up.

 

Thank you sir for the input, and answers to my questions. Its great to know you have 10k miles on the same setup i have with no issues. we have been doing some checking and we also believe Hagerty is the way to go. Nice truck btw.

 

Having trouble uploading pics from my computer. I have google pics and i keep getting invalid url. Havent had this problem in the past. This was posted from my phone.

 

here you can see ac unit behind glove box.
















made this grommet from an old inner tube from a crane tire. its about 1/8" thick and very plyab, uhh pliab, ..streachy.


had to download pics from google photos to my computer to be able to upload.

tight spot but all worked out really well.

 

Oh, I don't know about that. I'd have to take a good look at the tower to see. Is it slotted for the end of the spring?

 

What AC system is this? I have been looking for a new brake system set up. Im curious what you will choose. What likes are available.

 

it is slotted, although hivoltj says he has over 10k miles on hes exact setup with no issues.

 

this system is from southern rods , maxi 1 unit. As of now i have stock brakes, disk up front drum rear.

 

Waiting on throttle linkage



It's a shame they couldn't clock the filler neck so The overflow barb would be parallel with rad, not to mention cap.

 

Edit/correction..be cool built the rad per spec with overflow barb at 30 degrees per there tech drawings. They are however sending me a new cap that i can index myself, fyi if you order a rad from them you can specifically request the overflow barb indexed any direction you want. Wish I had known this.

 

o.k I'm mocking up throttle linkage and tv cable, not worried about setting tv cable yet, but does this look like the proper setup for the tv cable?

 

more progress from the weekend.

 

power steering hoses and reservoir mocked up.
also had to cut access panel in bed because fuel line fittings were hitting. didn't want to but now I'm happy i did.

sorry i goofed on the pics somehow.
