Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
5 Attachment(s)
Thanks to Photo buckets change in terms and conditions Ive lost all my 3rd part hosted pictures on my original thread. If I can, in time, I will try and put the photos back, but for now the Super Duper Haggis Hauler is dead!
But as they say long live the Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection. So from now to the end of the build (I hope) this will be the home to my project 62 short bed C10. Well despite other things getting in the way, like work (really interferes does work), the few wee things Ive been doing to the C3 and starting work on an extension to my driveway (to host my increasing car collection and my kids cars - youngest will be driving very soon I hope), work on the truck has actually been progressing well. So where was I last. Id sand blast the hood and repainted the pedal assembly (which is now part fitted) and Id blasted this lot Attachment 1670134 Then the hood and all received several coats of etch, epoxy and high build primers Attachment 1670138 Also got the door and front fender fitting reasonably well. Still got a bit of fettling to do and a bit of filling Attachment 1670141 Attachment 1670142 And for the first time I can see the stance at the front. I'm quite happy how that wheel fills the wheel well without being too tall or too small. Attachment 1670143 Oh and yes I am struggling attaching these pictures but I'll figure it out eventually! |
Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
Well done for restarting a new thread. Look forward to seeing the progress

Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
As the late Magnus Magnuson liked to say, Ive started so I'll finish!
Still pissed off with Photobucket though! |
Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
PSucket can't stop me from following along, old or new thread. Thanks for starting a new.
They ruined Steiners build but hey, I keep going. |
Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
Welcome back with the new thread Bill, door to fender gap is looking much better:metal:. Once I got mine sorted I drew (or is that drawed :lol:) around the bolts so I could re-hang them in the exact same spot.
|
Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
I'm thinking of doing the same Ian. The thought of having to reposition it again is not worth thinking! Already damaged enough paint hanging it this time round!

Opinions please chaps and chapesses (is that a real word?), before I clear the hood do I keep the "pin" stripe?
Attachment 1671590 Attachment 1671591 Attachment 1671592 Attachment 1671593 I'm not doing a lot of this on the outside but its just to bring a little of the interior colour outside. Thoughts? |
Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
I like the stripe.......
|
Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
I like it too
|
Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
It gets my vote Bill, it looks really good:metal:
|
Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
Yup....
Strip says "Custom" I have always wondered how one could enhance that detail on the hood. |
Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
Not been any updates of late because im still working on that damn hood. I have now repainted it 4 times. Ive gone through 6 litre of base coat most of whick in now dust on the floor. Ive given up on the stripes and im still not happy.
However as for now its done and will be fitted very soon. If at the end of my build i decide to take it off and do it again i will or ill get a friend whos a painter to re do it but right now its just lucky ive not burned it to the ground. Right now im on a business trip to Islay and sitting on a ferry and cant figure out how to attach a picture but ill do that asap. |
Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
I think sometimes you need to just walk away.
Other times.......? Set fire to it. One of the reasons I am not touching my truck yet. My head is totally not in the right place. I do hope you are happy with the hood when you get back to it. Enjoy the trip too. |
Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
I know exactly what you mean with the hood. I think it's just the sheer size, getting mine anywhere near flat enough to paint was a real chore and it's still not 100%
On a brighter note your off to Islay, the perfect place to forget your truck ( forget everything if you're not careful). Bowmore would probably me my choice or the Bunnahabbain, but take your own cigars they're a fortune on the island :lol: |

Fortunately I don't smoke Ian, one vice I never took too. Whisky on the other hand!!!! Bought a bottle of Laphroaig while I was there. I was staying in Port Ellen but my site team were staying in Bowmore (where they are working in the power station).
I had to drive to join them for dinner and of course they all had a few pints. My B&B was dry so I was forced mind, forced, to nip into the local whisky shop and buy a bottle of one of my favourite's before returning to my digs for a quiet dram (and Lone Survivor which just happened to be on). Anyway back to matters in hand. Grizz, I nearly did burn it to the ground and no I'm far from happy but it will do for now or I'll never get anything else done and the hood will have so much paint on it will take 10 to lift it! Attachment 1681699 On a positive note I managed a small but satisfying fix this evening. Before I set off to Islay I looked out the parts to start looking to fit the steering column. I need to move the truck in a week or too and having a steering wheel makes that so much easier. When I test fit the rag joint to the box I found out that the nuggets at POL (should be POS) had sent the wrong one. So that put me in a worse mood. However, the calm of a few days on Islay got me thinking and I dug out the old one and tonight I was able to swap the fittings and I now have a usable rag joint - Woo Hoo! Attachment 1681700 Anyway this weekend I will hopefully flatten and polish the hood and fit it and then hopefully fit the column. |
Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
I was following along on the old one, do now I can see the finish in this new thread.
I'm still pissed about Photosuckit. |
Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
Feel the same Karl.
So many forum users (not just on here) used photobucket and now their threads are useless. |
Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
Well I finished the hood (for now at least) over the weekend. Got it all sanded and polished and if it wasn't for the bits I don't like it would be really good !?!?!?!?!
Id have fitted it too if I hadn't had a Doh! moment when I flipped it to fit the Dynamat. That would be the Dynamat that hasn't arrived yet! Got confused (not hard these days) with the stuff I already have for the inside of the cab and for the Vette's hood. Anyway not to worry I should have that in this week. Anyway I got the hood hinges and springs fitted Attachment 1683103 Just a shame I couldn't find the nice new spring installation tool I bought, but the springs are now on as well! I also got the steering column fitted Attachment 1683104 But it is very tight and I'm at the max adjustment in length. Attachment 1683105 Also it doesn't fit that well under the dash. I can only get 1 fixing in. Attachment 1683106 Attachment 1683107 Think I will either add a couple of extra holes or elongate the ones already there but m also short of longer bolts. I have few spare American threads but Ive a lot of metric so I may have to tap the fixings out to 8mm. |

No idea why the pictures didn't come out so here they are again. I miss Photobucket - but not enough to pay the *&(&'s $400!

Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
Back at work today after 2 weeks holiday and for the first time in ages I think I managed to get almost everything I wanted done.
Got my garage roof extended and carport covered (gone is the big green PVC groundsheet) Got my drive at the front extended (still to decide how I want to finish it but at least its usable) Got the workshop roof refelted and the garage cleared (now got enough space to get the Corvette in there over the winter (sadly now the trucks cab in back on its frame it will never get back in)). Got the hood back on the truck (still not happy with the paint but it will do for now) and even got back to fitting the passenger door and fender. Only problem I have right now is I cant get the forum to upload any pictures! I miss Photobucket, even though it was crap. Need to see if I can do this another way. |

Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
You do good work with that welder. :)

Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
I am doing the same as you at the moment , getting the doors and fenders all lined up . These old trucks do test us that's for sure

Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
Gaps and panel fit are looking good Bill, nice work :thumbs:

Need to get this finished this weekend and get the door and fender into the garage for painting. Its already getting too cold outside for this kind of work. Think I'll switch to plumbing and electrics over the winter and a test fit of all the new bed panels and fenders BEFORE I paint them! |

Its taken a while but that's the door and fender edges matching now.
Attachment 1693573 Attachment 1693574 Attachment 1693575 But its now getting to cold and definitely too dark to work outside at night so the door, fender and quarter panel are now in the garage for finishing and painting. Also decided to put the radiator in tonight. Fed up falling over it on the workshop and there is more likelihood I damage it in there than in the truck where its supposed to be! Attachment 1693576 Not a lot of space in there. Looks like I need a LARGE push fan on the outside. Attachment 1693580 |
Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
Not a lot of room indeed, well you will go fitting these big blocks :lol: door and fender gap has turned out well :thumbs:
|
Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
What is the saying "there is no substitute for cubic inches"!
Ive found a 15.5" push fan that should fit (and that was with the first supplier - still others to check). Only concern is it may stick out a little far but in fact I have 50ish mm that I can push the fan into the engine bay is necessary though I don't think it will be. Gaps are good but I hope I can get everything back in that position and I'm worried that the build up of paint may cause problems - its that tight! |

Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
The big challenge you'll have is generating enough CFM to cool that big block, pull fans work best and even better with a shroud. push fans are generally less effective. I've a 17" on mine rated at between 2500 and 3000 CFM it's in a full shroud so i'm hoping it's nearer the top figure. I would think you'll need 4000+ for a big block. Buy a good make too (like SPAL for instance) most cheap chinese stuff makes nowhere near its stated CFM.
This is one situation where size really does matter :lol: both radiator and fan. |
Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
That's good info Ian, thanks. I know little about fans or their size requirements so this gives me something to go with.
I had a look at it tonight and I can get a 15" fan in but that's about it, possibly 16 at a squeeze but there is no room to move the engine back further. It is literally as far back as I dare take it. Need to have a wee look on here and see if there are any links to others and how their cooled their big blocks! |
Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
Not a good first search. The most Demon Tweeks list for a 16" SPAL fan is 1918CFM and that's a pull fan. Good news is there isn't much difference between their pull and push.

Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
I reckon I can fit 2 15" SPAL, one sucking and one blowing. There is just enough space to fit one inside, though I may need to remove the ally cap on the electric water pump and replace it with the original to gain a bit of space. The SPAL fans are only 51.1mm deep and I think I can get that in.
Only thing even with 2 fitted, one pulling and one pushing that's still only a combined 2177 cfm. I'll need to see if I can find out what my dad had on the engine when it was in his Cobra. |
Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
On my '66 Suburban with a big block I used two 12" puller fans side by side. They were the highest cfm I could find at the time.
|
Re: Super Duper Haggis Hauler II - The Resurrection
Definitely no space for 2 12" fans but I could get 2 10" in. Possibly 2 pulling and 2 blowing. That would get me about 3000-3500 cfm.
