As always Steve, nice work!

All new stock parts.

Is the bed a 2 tank model?

Is the bed a 2 tank model?

Yes. The truck was originally dual tank but funds at the time of failure where short. Then never got around to repairing it because of the cost to benefit ratio was low for me. I have owned the truck for 7 years and this is the first time it has had two working fuel tanks at the same time. Purchasing most of the stuff from rock Auto this was still over $600 to hold an extra 18 gallons of fuel.

Had to make the rear fuel lines. Got a roll of nylon tube and a bunch of different fittings to make the feed and return lines. Turned out great and was pretty easy to do. Just have to be patient and not heat too much of the line at one time or you will kink it.

That is really slick! Super nice work!

Thank you Sir !!

Nice job! glad to see you're going to add in a H pipe. I like a balanced exhaust.
BTW, what does your koozie say?
"You can't drink all day if you ......''

Thank you too kind Sir !!

Was having some heat soak and high intake air temp issues. I ditched the under hood insulation and the weather stripping that seals the back edge of the hood to the wiper cowl. I also removed the factory fake plastic hood louvers and installed as set of functional aluminum hood louvers.

I got myself a working project. It actually runs pretty well. It drives mostly ok and kinda sorta stops but it will work just fine for my needs. The dump bed is pretty rough but it will be fine for a while. Eventually I will build a new flatbed for it and give the body a paint job to make it look less crappy.

Square Body

I'm more of a Ford guy but you can't argue with the simplicity and parts supply for the square body Chevys!

You can build a Ford of the same era out of a lmc magizine too.

Without the H pipe, and then with it. I still have to mark & open each side, then weld in the H pipe, but it’s FINALLY fitting how I want it to !

 

[Moparmyway]

Gotta grind these holes open then weld the two sides to the H


Gotta love these UltraFlow race mufflers, no restrictions !!!!

 

[Moparmyway]

A buddy of mine suggested that I plasma cut for the H …….. what a stellar idea !!!!
