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!
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?
