Plumbing pretty much done. Now the crazy rear sway bar design. Not much room. This will take some brainstorming

 

[DomSmith]

Fuel lines look great. What filters did you decide on? AN Fittings or small pieces of hose to barb?

 

[landcruisnman]

Got the filters from Turn Key. Nice ones. Using AN fittings on all...from Crown Performance in Vista.

Awesome stuff!

 

[PabloCruise]

Beautiful work!

Will you be able to drop that tank after the body is on?

 

[landcruisnman]

Yes. The cage below it comes off and I can reach all connections and it shimmy’s right out. Not a quick job, be can be done..
when I do the wiring, gonna set up master connections for cab wiring, motor ECU so pulling the cab won’t be that hard. Brake and fuel lines will have disconnect points as well.

My bro is an auto tech, most of the new trucks it’s quicker to pull cab and bed off frame to access stuff.

 

[landcruisnman]

I’ve had the body off and on so many times I think it would be easier to do any major work to it..

 

[DomSmith]

Anymore updates?

 

[landcruisnman]

Body back on until it runs.... access panel in floor for fuel/suspension access. We’ll make a nice plate cover. 37” tires might be pushing it with rear clearance. Not trimming!!

 

[scrapdaddy]

Awesome!

 

[xtiaan2000]

I imagine many will want a ride in that thing! Just remember that I asked first.

 

[DomSmith]

How many years since the body has been back on Pat?

 

[landcruisnman]

It’s been off and on a half dozen times... you bagging?

 

[DomSmith]

Was thinking it had been a few years since the body was back on. A big milestone.

And I might have a few side bets to collect on...

 

[1973Guppie]

damn pat, that thing is looking mean! I think I see a future of you doing photoshoots for magazines with this truck! .......

 

[1973Guppie]

just don't paint it neon green dude.....

 

[landcruisnman]

I want to keep the two tone scheme, just not sure colors. Not factory. Thinking a silver for the white and a gunmetal type grey for the color...

 

[DomSmith]

What’s the plan if the 37’s don’t fit?
