Thanks guys! I'm starting to get pretty excited about it. Trying to stay focused so I can get it on the road hopefully in the spring. I got my driveshaft made so I'm working on setting my angles on everything right now. |
Re: Project: Boosted Blucille. '70 C10 SWB PB Fab, LS2 S475
Got the driveshaft in enough to where I could start working on mounting my accuair. Still working on sorting the angles out on the driveshaft. Currently waiting on some pinion shims. But in the meantime, I got this little jewel done. Had a friend with a plasma table cut this out for me.

Alright moving on. Got my driveshaft in. I've been fighting angles for a week. Got creative and finally have it close to dialed in. Been waiting on the shims. Got them in today. Blew the rear end apart and installed them. My carrier bearing has been the biggest hurdle. The suggested 2" shim didn't work for me of course. I had the 1.5" spacer that AZ pro performance sells with the extra shims but it wasn't enough. I needed to be closer to 3.25". Luckily I found some carrier bearing spacers made by GSI that were an inch. So I ordered 2 of them. Took one of them to a machine shop and had them mill off 1/4". Overall it worked out. Still need to paint the driveshaft. Thats on my never ending and ever growing to do list. :lol: https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_7245-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_7246-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_7243-XL.jpg Also finished up the accuair and battery mount. Added some extra braces out on the end. It wanted to flex too much when I put the batteries in so just a little added insurance. Little paint and voila! https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_7233-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_7241-XL.jpg |

I was a little skeptical about using a welder on 110v but this little guy welds damn good. Gonna wire in a 220v soon to fully utilize it. Mainly bought this one for its tig capability. While I don't have the first clue as to how to tig weld, I figure it would come in handy for when I do learn. https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_7250-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_7252-XL.jpg Nothing like grinding off powder coat :lol: https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_7256-XL.jpg And bag mounts are on! She was a roller for about 10 minutes before I took it all back apart. First time its been a true roller in over a year. Felt good to finally make some noticeable progress https://photos.smugmug.com/Blucille/...MG_7268-XL.jpg |

Looks great....I have the same welder and have been happy with it. I have one 220v outlet in my garage but depending on where in the garage I'm working having the ability to plug into 110v is nice. Love your truck.

Love your truck build! You're really going to like that welder. I bought a 215 when it first came out. Coudn't be happier. It does a great job MIG or TIG, and switching between the two only takes a few seconds
