Re: Project "Estelle"

I had to shorten the front part of the driveshaft 2.5", the same amount I moved the crossmember back.

Re: Project "Estelle"

Rob, I dont have any more pics of the pedal mount, but its basically a flat piece of 20 ga sheet metal that I shaped to hold the pedal where it needed to be and still use the 3 bolts from the original pedal mount. It also has two small 1" tabs on the left that bolt to the firewall. The pedal base needed to be slightly angled so I welded a small ramp onto the base piece to hold the pedal at the correct angle. I welded 2 studs onto the ramp so the pedal fits on the studs and two nuts hold it on.

Re: Project "Estelle"

Beautiful truck! ... Hey, whats the walbro pump model you used? I heard those inline pumps are not that great at "sucking" fuel.. Have you have any problems with it? I would like to use my stock behind the seat tank, so maybe this pump would work for me..
