It sounds like everything on this truck is going to be ONE OFF.

It would be cool for him to name it that.

 

Cody, that blanket is sweet. I too thought that Travis would look a little different. You pretty much looked the way I imagined.

 

Those are some sweet looking parts. I also pictured you guys different, even though I'm pretty sure that I've seen a picture of you before haha. Travis looks exactly like my buddy Nate but I'm with William, I thought move of a smartazz looking kid haha

 

Subscribing.....and nothing stopped the previous owner from switching up the tanks or possibly had front clip changover from prior accident.

 

Sharp eye David. The truck was rolled, bad lol. But Kevin did a great job of putting it back together. Kevin, have Kristi email me the pic of the rolled truck if you have it on the computer and I'll post it. You gotta have a certain amount of posts and be a supporter to post pics. I guess that prolly should have been the first pic. LOL I actually have the printed picture of it rolled in the shop. It gives me some motivation. And here's why....

The truck got rolled during a towing event if I'm not mistaken. Well, Kevin absolutely loved the truck and went through alot of effort to make it right again. And he did. And when I bought the truck, he actually did not want to sell it. But it needed to go for one reason or another. I can't recall what he told me. But he was sad to see it go. So I made a promise to him that I would continue to enjoy the truck as much as he did, and keep him updated on what I was doing with it. And I told him exactly what the plan for it was, and he seemed excited about it. So long story short, Kevin's history with the truck motivates me to make it bigger and better than ever.

 

As far as how Travis and I look, he is a smart azz punk! LOL And normally I'm smiling. We were trying to look all serious while we completed the complicated 4 person job of reinstalling the battery tray. LOL

 

This is the cab and chassis you are talking about?

 

You know just as well as i do that you stand a larger than normal chance of grenading that engine and you know what the first rule of cool is??? well guess what grenading a stroke is going to do? make an azz of yourself. haha.

got that right, smart azz punk, but i haven't heard you say that was a bad thing yet. as far as i'm concerned if i wasn't that way i wouldn't last around the death row shop too terribly long nor would i last with a lot of the cummins owners around here. LoL

Also, you didn't post up the pic of how we are modding the bellhousing to fit the stroud blanket AND i saw the discs that dan is using for your clutch and all i could say is HOLY ****!!!! and he has the stuff for my clutch as soon as i'm ready and said he can make it so it will shift faster than i physically can do so. haha

 

Yeah, that sintered iron stuff is pretty bad azz. Makes me wonder how a flywhee, or pressure plate and floater will even hold up to them. Just looks like grinding disks.

 

exactly. they look like grinding discs. haha. thats actually what i thought of when i saw it. he said it will withstand about 300* more heat than ceramic will as well which is in a word AWESOME. haha. your going to have fun with that clutch. haha

 

That clutch sounds crazy. Grinding discs, wow.

 

yep, 3 of them with billet spacers and everything. going to be a badazz clutch setup IF it will fit in the bellhousing. haha. we will see shortly though.

on edit: Cody, i wonder if you could find a delete pulley of some kind online that is the same diameter and grooves as the A/C on summit or something. all you need is the pulley and we can build the rest of it to work?? don't know your take on this.

 

I have heard of delete pulleys at Advanced auto or Oreillys.

 

There was a guy over on PSN that was selling a motor that had no A/C and it had a fairly large pulley on it IIRC, close to the same as the a/c compressor. So I would think you could go to advanced or napa or the like and get a pulley the right size and made for the stroker.

 

The big deal with our engines is getting the right number of groves for the belts.

Like in 94, they had 6, and then they had 7 after that, or some stupid ****. I forget.
I still need to change my alternator pulley, its too small.

Sounds like a sweet clutch. Kevin didn't tell me much about it, just the nitty gritty, but nothing about the parts going into it.
