got the bed finished tonight and prepped for the flat black paint im going to pick up tomorrow

have the fuel tank ready to bolt down as well....

im going to pick up a brake line and tube for the fuel line tomorrow

Get 'er done man!

I gave my truck a good test this morning. We were loading semi's at our bin site and one got stuck (couldn't get going in the 3-5" deep snow/ice. My cousin hooked his stock V10 to it, couldn't budge it with the stock tires. Then I hooked up my '67 to it. Pulled myself 118,000lbs today, twice!

haha thats awesome...

beds done and painted...tank is securely mounted and plumbed with hard line, along with a vent.....hard line is secured well and has rubber isolators at metal-metal areas(rubber hose around steel)



all i lack is welding the little tab i made to mount the connection of the hard line to the brake hose...and running a short peice of line from the line lock to the rear hose....

Then its on to the tranny/driveline junk


had to fix the heater hoses on the 89 tonight....when i changed the heater core a few weeks ago i kept the stock rusted clamps and they evidently didnt tighten the hose evenly so i had to replace the clamps...i got tired of having coolant dripping in my passenger floorboard and teh smell of antifreeze for two weeks

Nope no yanking. Brought the chain tight, had 'er in first gear bouncing off rev limiter, when the tires dug down to solid ground it started to come. It wasn't completely dead weight, the semi was helping out. I did find out it is time to weld up my spiders in the rear. My LS worked the first tug, both tires spun whole time, second time only my driver rear spun.


Kubota - Sounds like your making some good time. Do you have the tranny/tcases all assembled, or do you still hafta do anything there?

Too bad you didnt blow up that front axle


I got to rebuild the 203 range box....paint it and throw the doubler shaft in it...then bolt it to the 205 and the tranny

Keep in mind the 203 range rebuild has two bearings, nome replacement needle rollers and one o ring....thats it, my buddy did it in about 2 hours time

im hopeing to have the tranny/-tcases in the truck this weekend since i will have all weekend to work on it
