Fuel cell tacked together
https://preview.ibb.co/fScr3R/IMG_3930.jpg I put a sump to help starvation of the fuel pump we'll see how it works. The way I have the sending unit it is just below the empty mark. I still need to weld on the flange for the sending unit and fuel pump. https://preview.ibb.co/mZutHm/IMG_8174.jpg the sump was an afterthought it was a real mother to weld it in there |
Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10
Here is a little update, I was able to get the motor accessories on. I ended up changing the motor color to titanium to match the budnik wheels ill be ordering. I think the warmer color looks great with the brown color.
accessories are from March Performance, the custom series pro-track, I added the billet alternator fan, that will be painted black and the A/C compressure will get a coat of the titanium. https://thumb.ibb.co/bUw1QG/IMG_1883.jpg https://thumb.ibb.co/nsc85G/IMG_5389.jpg https://thumb.ibb.co/nzdRsw/IMG_7452.jpg https://thumb.ibb.co/dFUXXw/IMG_7453.jpg https://thumb.ibb.co/gAx85G/IMG_7454.jpg https://thumb.ibb.co/evvHzb/IMG_7457.png |
Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10
Intakes stripped and repainted with Cerakote, along with the coil covers. I think ill do some satin black on the covers and intake "Edelbrock" and the lines on the coil covers
I had to notch the coil covers to fit around the alternator. The intake is just set on there to see how it looks. https://preview.ibb.co/c05Pxw/IMG_1939.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/gx3zVG/IMG_2474.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/czPjxw/IMG_3718.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/j5KHHw/IMG_9856.jpg |
Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10
shot of the accessories, I went with these because they were affordable, but they brought everything lower and having all new components for a piece of mind.

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10
Small update I am waiting for my updated motor mounts from Porterbuilt.
I was able to get the steam ports all re-routed with stainless hard lines into the top of the water pump. this was a slight challenge with the Eastwood pro flare tool you need about 1.5" of straight tubing to create the flare. https://preview.ibb.co/i5E2mm/IMG_1332.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/k8v8Rm/IMG_3220.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/mCyjz6/IMG_8111.jpg |
Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10
Its been a while a little update I reinstalled all of my suspension I went to install the motor and the transmission was hitting the tunnel pretty bad so instead of messing with the motor mounts I just decided to make a new taller tunnel giving me plenty of room even if I decide to do a 4l80 in the future.
The tunnel is just about in a few more fitment things to clean up and get her welded in. In the process of installing the motor I also scratched my firewall, this got me thinking of updating my color choice. https://preview.ibb.co/kHeSjn/IMG_4367.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/grDWAS/IMG_4769.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/mMnf4n/IMG_8302.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/kRv04n/IMG_1494.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/kXA04n/IMG_7802.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/c4S2H7/IMG_7803.jpg |
Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10
Update!
I got the motor in! the trans tunnel worked I have a ton of room! the motor fit no problem. The steering just cleared the headers I'm so glad they fit they are mid-length Headman C10 LS swap headers. Fuel cell brackets have been cut and broke. I will bolt these to the bottom sides of the frame rails for easy removal of the fuel cell if needed. I have started the process to flush mount the booster/master cylinder to the firewall since I put a nice scratched in it. Its been a pain in the ass the Brake pedal/booster support inside the cab is offset to one side, I will basically have to cut is all back and remake the booster side. more pictures to follow as I work on it. I will smooth the firewall on the driver's side and maybe do some bead rolling work. https://preview.ibb.co/bNGRu7/IMG_7854.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/g5kVMn/IMG_7855.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/jBivnS/IMG_7856.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/h2rRu7/IMG_8670.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/c05x1n/IMG_4175.jpg |
Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10
Update
Well, I was able to get the booster/master cylinder in place. This seem to be uncharted territory, I see a lot of people with flush mounted boosters just no info on how they do it. I tried to keep mine setup like the factor system and location. The stock bracket is more in line with the steering column, which mounted the booster off centered. I cut off the end of the old booster support which did not line up at all with the flush mounted booster. I then offset it and welded it to the original support bracket. I plan on supporting the lower column from inside the truck, I ordered a boot for the exterior to keep everything looking clean. The firewall will be re-skinned with some nice bead rolled panel. The last picture is just a picture of the floor in primer, no seam sealer or bodywork. https://preview.ibb.co/jLT6KH/IMG_0579.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/m7x0eH/IMG_0601.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/cyefeH/IMG_1910.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/ed2oYc/IMG_4134.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/imivDc/IMG_9698.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/d3JTYc/IMG_2846.jpg |
Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10
Im waiting on a few things for the fire wall, i was able to get the mounts tacked on the fuel cell and rivnut it to the underside of the frame. The rear longer mount was to tall so i will have to design it and cut another then add it to the fuel cell. Now i can start the hardlines to the motor and figure out the full neck.

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10
Good work! Glad to see that you got it moving forward again. Good updates. I wasn't on the forum when you started this project, but I've enjoyed reading through the build thread.
