Good work outlaw. It amazes me that no one makes actual shrouds, just block off plates with fans on them. :)

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I don't have a photo right now but the fan shroud that I got from US Radiator is more than a block off plate. It is an actual shroud.

I installed the rebuilt fuel sender, got the tank back in place, and installed the new fuel pump and rebuilt carb.

And I took a video of it running! Video link

You are going to have a problem. I had it on mine as well. at full droop with the steering at full lock you are going to have hard contact with the steering links on both sides.


simple enough fix;


Take the sway bar apart and shorten the sleeves by 1/2" ;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

That's what I'm going to run on my truck, like the center caps, what are they off of.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Not really sure, the guy said they were on his '85 C10 when he bought it. They are in really good shape too....

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV

If you fail at your attempt to do something did you still get something done.

full story coming to my build thread soon

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

My buddy put those rally wheels on his 68 SWB. Ordered a set of clips that bolt in where the 3 screws that hols the rally cap go on. Has a set of mid 50s Chev pickup caps coming to install. Painted the wheels whits with a narrow trim ring. Will try to get a pic in a week or two when all together. I think they will look really good.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Finished the CPP disc brake upgrade on my 1965 Short Step. Captainfab firewall adapter plate, 1995 Blazer brake booster and MC, Speedway pushrod extender with Heim joint, Summit Racing brake bias (but has Wilwood name - cast into the metal) so I can fine tune the rear brakes.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Out of curiosity, what are you doing for the clutch cylinder that would usually be part of the master cylinder? I'd like to move away from the single reservoir my 60 GMC has.

thanks!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Ah. I saw the floor shifter that looks like a stick.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I took the brake pedal bracket from inside the cab, laid in on carpet sideways.
Installed the brake pedal spring and return bumper.
Mounted captainfabs bracket to it.
Mounted the power brake booster to that.
Then built out the brake pedal pushrod to the correct length, with adjustment left of course.
That way I didnt have to do it in the truck after their done painting it.
Just wish I took pictures. :(

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

My hair and clothes are filled with rust dust and paint flakes from repainting the interior roof and rear panels.
Looks nice, though. Maybe a pic tomorrow.
I need to shower. ;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I was getting tired of the worn out 62 steering wheel. especially the turn signal switch. It seemed never to work right. So I broke down and bought and installed a new I did it steering column. One of the best things I did to the truck!

What part of California are you guys living in that you can keep a gun on a gun rack. Certainly not the part I live in.
