X3! Hey Rob, are you gonna keep the rear drum brakes or convert to rear disk brakes?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

hey do they make the bonnevilles in 14 in wide
you should do that :thumbs:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

It's a tough choice.

I haven't decided yet. I probably will eventually.

Only choice are 12 or 15. I would have to narrow the rearend to make the 15's work correctly....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

So have you taken the rear out yet? I mean, 15's....come on.....SICK!!! :chevy:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Uhhmmm we're not going there...........not yet any way, :).

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

You know if you just get the 15s and narrow it you won't have to go through the hassle of buying the same wheels twice in different sizes... You should go for it! Heck while you're at it with the whole narrowing the rear end and getting new wheels just splurge some more and get rear disc brakes.

P.S. You should come to the board meet at the beginning of May. I'll be making the drive up, and there will be plenty of other people there.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

You can spend my $$$$ about as well as my wife can, ;). When and where is the meet?

Look in my signature at the IIMY link.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I'm almost done with the radiator fan install. Just waiting on a few pieces to dry. Is there any reason why I can't stick the sender to turn the fans on in the outlet that the heater hose goes to? It's plugged off and not being used for anything. I also had a new driveshaft built with beefier u-joints and a new yoke. Hopefully it will hold up when I hammer the throttle, :D.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Looking good rob! Are you going to sell your other driveshaft or hang on to it? I have to find one yet.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks. Do you know the dimensions of what you need?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Isn't that the "cool" side of the radiator? I think that you would want it on the "hot" side. I might be backwards though...

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Good question!.....

Here's some pictures of everything installed.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

yea you want it on the hot side, where it comes from the intake to the radiator. by the time the hot water hits the switch to trip it, the engine will be at a hotter temp. depending at what temp trips it, it might be a little too hot for the engine. you dont want to run too hot of an engine

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

58-58.5" off the top of my head. with the nv3500 it is a weird length.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I'll probably have to figure out another place to put it.

Center to center is 55". Let me know.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I guess if you set the fans to kick on at a lower temp (160?) then the engine might run 190ish... that's a swag though...

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I just wired it to come on with the key for right now. I'll eventually put a temp switch in the head. I've still got to figure my wheel situation out....:waah:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

thanks for the info but i will need to look for a longer one. i will probably end up in the junk yard and having one cut down.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

No worries.

****

New shoes! (for now, ;)).

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I really like your truck(s).
Everything is perfect.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Looking good! The beauty rings really compliment the chrome trim nicely.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks! I've still got a few other things up my sleeve.....:D.

Thanks Tommy. When do we get to see some pictures of yours with it's new shoes???? :)
