Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
Thanks for the comments guys! I did get part of my real trans crossmember cut last night, I'm using a piece of extra square tubing we had from my brother's project. I need to get the bracket cut and put in place for the tranny to mount to. I'm also hoping to get all my wiring harness off so I can get it sent in to be cut down.

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
I am thinking about under the dash. Not 100% until I get the harness back to see how much slack I have. I did get the harness off tonight.

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
I actually got some work done tonight, I was able to finish my trans crossmember. I ended up using all extra metal I had laying around, guess I learned something from my dad.

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
That's hilarious. I was wondering when they were going to get back to the wooden wagon wheels. They just keep getting bigger, and bigger.
I think you could have a set made in Mahogany that would look good on the truck man. ![]() |

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
I was just going to google a pic of wagon wheels for grins and actually pulled that pic. The guy really made those, the pic is real. Some guy over in London, I almost fell out of my chair when I saw that it was real.

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
I got my crossmember painted and installed, installed the engine for the final time, I hope. I started putting the front suspension back on, now if I could just get over the wiring hurdle I would be getting somewhere. Anyway it feels good to see her on all four feet again.

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
I finally got my wiring harness sent off, they said it should be done in two weeks tops. So in the meantime I have been working on my exhaust and mounting my gas tank. The exhaust looks ok, but you can tell I did it myself.

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
I wanted to do an x-pipe but don't have the space....thinking of going with an H under the tail fo the trans now.

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
I think the h pipe is doable. I am going to try to run it over the driveshaft, I just have to make sure it doesn't get to high to hit the bottom of the cab. I was thinking of running it under the trans tail but the way I'm going to run my fuel lines, I didn't want them to be that close. I've been reading up on the h pipe and I've seen alot of people say that it doesn't have to be the same diameter pipe as the exhaust, so that might help a little. Here is the idea of what I'm going for, think I'll try it tonight.

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
H pipe is in. Doesn't look too pretty right now, but after some grinding it should look ok, for a homemade exhaust.

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
Is that the lowest ride height your truck will be. if not the drive shaft may hit when you hit a dip or bump. It does look good though and I hope it works for you . If it does that just might be what I will do to mine. I have often thought of using a piece of 3 inch pipe that is oval shaped to actually be slimmer so it wont hang down below the frame so much
