Freds40 builds a 60

[freds40]

Just looked @ his site and it dosn't look too promising. Did you try Now serving ? It's been a couple of months since I got mine from him. I've heard he is a 1 man shop and does this on the side from his full time job.

BTW, for the sake of ease of install and time, I threw my clutch fan and shroud in so I can get it running and wheel it a bit. After I've driven it a while, I'll throw the Taurus fan and DCcontrol in.

I will take a look there. I've heard his stuff is great and does exactly what I need but the reviews are mixed. Sounds like he delivers but it takes a while.

Truck looks good!

Thanks.

It's running!

Of course it sounds like azzzzzzzzzzz with no exhaust past the manifold but it is indeed running.

Hopefully get the exhaust done beginning of next week and cruise this thing.

Congrats!

Keep it up man... it looks great!

I will be very interested to see if you get that Taurus fan to fit. I've got a new one just lying around and I'm looking for more cfm than my Contour fan pulls (which is more than adequate 98% of the time but I recently found the 2%). However I'm having trouble seeing the depth of the Taurus fan fitting with the water pump snout. Of course I've got a 62 with the tranny cooler which it limits where I can position the center of the fan...

 

[freds40]

I threw the Taurus fan in and it will fit. THe fan motor is off center and if I turn the whole shroud upside down, the motor sits off to the passenger side of the water pump pulley. Should be pretty easy when I go to do it. Just a little more time consuming than I need right now.

Funny thing is when I pulled into the driveway I said to Amanda, I bet it was Chris!

Done yet?

P.S. you suck at updates and pictures

 

[freds40]

What's to update? It's still in the garage.

the third that grew hair

 

[freds40]

Carved up the front fenders so I could turn the tires.

And took it for a spin around the block today. There is still quite a bit to do and there were a few issues to tend to but it's definately getting closer.

1 more.

90301-64002 is the o ring just below the plate and it should be around 2bucks

web site i was telling you about https://www.1sttoyotaparts.com/

 

[freds40]

Just ran by Bingham and picked up the o-ring and the seal. The seal was a bit worn when I was in the box so I figure I'll change it while I'm back into it. Should both be in Friday morning.

I like the look of no front bumper.

If you get a chance would you mind measuring from the ground to the bottom of your frame rail? Yours looks lower than mine did with the 39.5s.

 

[freds40]

Right now the frame to ground is right @ 24.5". My guess is that will drop an inch or 2 once I get it out and work the springs a bit.

 

[brokenparts]

nice work... mine was about 28-29" at first. It dropped to 26ish when the springs settled and I thought the balance wasn't too bad and the pucker factor was at least predictable using the stock springs. I ran 2" spacers in the front and 1.5 in the back.
