Thanks i'm trying so i can get it back on the road so we can use it this summer,would be alot easier if i could work on it full time.

Kabwe did you get the primer gun out yet???

Re: 57 Step Side
 

Yeah I got the outside of the cab in primer I trying to get the inside done now. The fenders, doors, etc will be done once I take the the truck back a part.

Re: 57 Step Side
 

Fan belt finally back on again,weld up the exhaust this week and i'll be down to water and wire.

Re: 57 Step Side
 

Nice!

Re: 57 Step Side
 

exhaust system done,built on a creeper what a pain in the *ss.It looks so much easier on tv when they have the truck on the lift and pipe stands holding up the whole system as they put tack welds on.

Re: 57 Step Side
 

Nice work! What mufflers are you running?

Re: 57 Step Side

Magnaflow ,when i opened the box and saw that they were straight open mufflers i said well its going to be loud but i hope not to loud.Brought the rounds so i had more room when mounting them,but i think i have enough pipe on the end of them to kill some of the sound.

Re: 57 Step Side
 

Thanks! We'll be waiting for a sound clip ASAP!

Re: 57 Step Side
 

Cross over pipe work out well and e-brake hooked up.

Re: 57 Step Side
 

That stuff looks real sharp.

Got my steering column back from ididit had them cut 3" off,now i have enough room between the headers and steering shaft.Just wondering if the heat from the header to the shaft will keep my steering wheel warm in the winter!!!!
Trans cable is hooked up and the column shifter actually works.

Re: 57 Step Side

Re: 57 Step Side
 

Looks good.

Re: 57 Step Side

Re: 57 Step Side
 

Thanks,its going to be bummer after its done not to have something to work on.

Re: 57 Step Side
 

You are moving too fast, stretch it out a bunch of years like me to keep yourself occupied.

Re: 57 Step Side
 

Radiator came in this week so we started to mount it up busy weekend so only had a few hours to play with it.Going to mount the condenser on the outside of the radiator,need all the room on the engine side for a electric fan.

Re: 57 Step Side
 

Pretty.

Re: 57 Step Side
 

Looks very nice.

Re: 57 Step Side
 

Wow, You don't mess around. This thing is looking good.
I have a couple of questions.
What headers did you end up using?
And could I get more information on your E-Brake setup. Looks like Lokar stuff but I just wanted to get some specifics.
Thanks, and again fine work your doing

Re: 57 Step Side
 

Thanks, I used patriot headers,e-brake i used the lokar foot brake and their cables.It works good i still have to bleed the brakes a little more i think but the e-brake system seems to work good,the only thing i changed is the little round knob that they gave you for the e- brake release.It was to small so i fab up a alumunim t-handle to fit it which works alot better.

Re: 57 Step Side
 

Everything is looking great man, keep up the good work.

Re: 57 Step Side
 

Thanks Kabwe, i was going to tell you yours look good primed and its time to hit the sanding block.I think everyone wants to see that body with some color on it,did you chose one yet?????

Condenser on so the hot box should be cool when it gets hooked up.
