Good to hear ,glad to see it being revived .

The goal this holiday weekend was a lot of swimming pool and making the truck mobile again. We are not sure if the radiator is going to be adequate but have decided to give it a try. I had it altered to work (No thanks to those rip off jack-asses at Marietta Radiator) and everything fit tight but nicely. The new column looks great and the steering linkage went flawlessly from the aftermarket column, through the Chevy body to the dodge steering box. Today i plan on welding up the core support and inter cooler brackets so I can re-hang the grille and finish fabricating the front bumper brackets.

72freak · 07-04-2016, 07:30 AM

A few more...and yes, there will be a fan shroud.

**GR8-68** · 07-04-2016, 09:38 AM

Awesome build, I love seeing fab work. I have a 2000 Ram 1500 with a 360, hmmm. What could I do with that in my 68 project truck ?

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-05-2016, 09:14 PM

More nice work! I hope you got that pool time in too!

Make it slow and un dependable? :p

**GR8-68** · 07-06-2016, 07:36 PM

Mmmm, doubt that, it has just over a 100,000 on it and I have never had to work on the motor other than normal maintenance, I have had all different makes of vehicles and I have also had Chevrolet's I would have just as soon drove over a cliff as to fix it.

72freak · 07-07-2016, 03:38 PM

Fabrication of a battery box is taking place changing a passenger side tray to a drivers side tray. I am also working on swapping the computer controlled "dodge" alternator to a external voltage regulator. It is going to swap bays under its own power on Saturday! So excited!

BTW, GR8-68, I have you on my "block" list so I cant see what you are posting.

flashed · 07-07-2016, 03:50 PM

I hope to see this truck in person one day ,awesome work you guys are doing .

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-07-2016, 04:10 PM

Which external voltage regulator do you plan to use? Dodge or Ford? I can provide a link for you to a place that offers an internal regulator that works great and is affordable too. We have put a few on and I like them a lot.

Link please...I have the Dodge one and plug to match.

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-07-2016, 09:34 PM

Here you go.

You might call them to make sure it will fit your alt. They had another one on their site but that page is blank now. I think it was for the 130amp alt though.

I've found the dodge external regulator causes the system to sort of surge. I quit using them and started using the ford ones. Then went to the internal one above in the link. It was actually cheaper than going with a ford one and the connector. Both this, and the ford style work great though.

72freak · 07-09-2016, 06:01 PM

Today it moved under its own power. I also converted a pass. side battery box to a drivers side box and got it bolted in. Time to start wiring and making it pretty! Next will be front bumper install and an attempt to blend the Dodge and GM HVAC.

Nice progress, I'm looking forward to seeing your blend of GM/dodge hvac components!

This build is awesome, great work to all involved!

72freak · 07-19-2016, 08:59 PM

A new power steering pump and some dialing in on the injector pump. Modified both inner fenders, painted them and re installed. Sorted the AC lined and figured out where to blend the Dodge to Chevy. Now time to start wiring.
