On a different note I have the doors primed and lined up and shutting correctly.

Final post for the night is the updated exhaust. I used the stock cats but I had to modify the position. I also had the exhaust shop throw on some 40 series Flowmasters. They are temporarily turned down just before the rear axle until I get the bed on and figure out where I want the exhaust to exit.

Dang! There you go passing me up again. Doors are next on my list and you've already done yours. Fuel cell looks good in there, as well as the exhaust.

I also got my fuel line made and installed. I used the OEM connectors with a rubber fuel line. turned out well and was fairly inexpensive (compared to AN fittings).

In an attempt to keep the engine bay clutter free, I am going to attempt to mount my PC and my fuse relay in the cab under the dash. I am mocking up some cardboard templates to try to make this work. Since I am using an aftermarket digital gauge cluster, I will have a bit more room behind the gauge cluster VS stock because it is MUCH thinner. I am banking on this room so that I can still run my A/C line to the driver's vent. If I end up not having enough room I will have to fabricate a square a/c box VS the round A/C hose...this is going to be interesting. I also want the PC and fuse relays in the cab so I do not have to worry about them getting wet. I know it is going to be a pain changing a fuse or relay, but I think I am willing to deal with that. Worse case scenario, I have to pull the gauge cluster for direct access. Hopefully once I get all the bugs worked out, I wont be touching these fuses anyway. I will utilize the oem fuse panel to run the lights, radio, ect. Wish me luck, cause I am going to need it!

While working on the truck, I realized the cross brace that covers the fuel cell is not going to clear the fuel pump...out came the cut off wheel for a quick surgery. Slapped on a little paint and problem solved.

Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step
Excellent work on the fuel filler and fuel system! It should be a lot easier for you to get fuel to your tank on the step side bed as opposed to the fleetside. There just isn't much room unless you cut into the inside of the bed. Nice work!
I like the idea of putting all the components you can inside the cab too. I know it will be a little more difficult to troubleshoot problems but it sure makes the engine bay clean. |

This has been a learning process for sure. I hope to be able to work the bugs out fairly quickly so that I do not have to mess with the fuse/relay block much if at all. I will have a long road ahead of me cleaning up the engine bay. I will eventually re-route my harness so that it less visible and move the coil packs off of the valve covers, but before we get too fancy I want to get this thing running. I figure all of that can come later on, but I need to mount the relays/pc in the cab now because if I don't, I never will. |

Subscribed. Excited to see how the truck turns out. I like you're creativity when trying to save a few dollars here and there!

You are doing a good job and kudos for just jumping into that mod. It was a pain for sure. I spent a ton of time on mine. I've since forgot how many hours....but the next one I do I'll have a pattern to look at. :) |
Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step
Was the high hump a necessity?

Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step
High humps aren't as easy to come by in the 64-66's it seems :/
I'm doing this exact swap right now. |
