One of the heater valve turned and hoses ran.

Also a cracked brake line need to get one of these.

what's up with the rusty clamps,is that a used valve you got there. john

Don't want to loose anything while I mock it in. I will go and buy all new clamps once I am ready to get the hoses finished.

Here is where the sender for the Yota temp sender is tapped in. And a shot of the front end on and the Radiator after the ports are switched. BTW HAS ANYONE SEEN THE RADIATOR BRACKETS?????

Are we (am I) missing the radiator brackets???

 

[iaintscared1969]

That would be a YES!! and also the lower core support bushings.

Man, I had not seen my baby run in over two years. sounds sweet! I can just imagine what it will sound like once it get's the dual exhaust...



WHO IS YOUR DADDY!!!!!!!

You're da man, Dr. Randy...You brought it back to life!

 

[iaintscared1969]

It gives you a warm fuzzy feeling all over doesn't it?!

 

[Rigger]

The Gutless Ghost is sounding like it has some serious guts now!! You'll have to give it a new name! Nice going! That baby is gonna be a screamer for sure!

 

[iaintscared1969]

I am thinking ML will come up with something...The money pit?? NAH!!

 

[iaintscared1969]

Rigger...I see an opening coming up soon

 

[meatloaf]

Unlike my wife, I would not call it a money pit. I'm getting an almost new wagon...

Randy named it The Ghost and we'll keep it at that. It will now be the Ghost with Guts.

 

[iaintscared1969]

That sounds good. The Ghost...Cause all you will see is the blurr as it goes by!!

 

[CruisinFJ60]

i want an "almost new wagon"!!

but with a diesel... and a toybox, 5 speed... oh sorry, day dreaming again... straight pipe...

Update

OK here are the drive lines courtesy of Truck Parts Specialist. The rear shaft is now 44" and the front is 23". Also a couple of shots of how the fuel lines are adapted. I used 5/16 and 3/8 Earl's hard line an adapters coupled to 3/8 auto fit braided hose.

Update

Here is a shot of the fuel lines clamped down the rail and one of a new fuel door warning. Also the new tach after recalibration and ready for use with the Vortec. Red line gauge works in Ca. Did this one as well. Yes I see the 80 is backwards...To late now.

 

[CruisinFJ60]

looks like it was done for easier reading...
sure is looking purdy tho!
I like the bling bling fuel hoses.

 

[iaintscared1969]

It is getting there...ML was this the original transfer case that came with the truck when it was running?? The linkage is off by almost 1 1/2" from the shaft. This is a later model linkage. Do you have spares laying around?? If not I will make modifications. Also do you have the linkage rods in your hiding place? If you do no big deal. I can hook it up later. Just wondering if you put it someplace you wouldn't lose it.
