Nice work Chizzler.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
 

I sent off my massive van harness in a big contractor trash bag and it came back in this small box.

He did a great job cleaning it up to minimal wiring.

All the engine required to crank were 3 connections. This was just a quick test before I took the engine out of the donor frame. I had a single ground, 12V constant power, and 12V switch power to the fuse block.

There are other inputs that are required like TCC, WTS & CEL lamps, etc but it being a quick test didn't require it. I didn't wire up the solenoid wire. I just jumped it out to the power terminal on the starter.

I would definitely recommend Ken at Standalone Solutions. He worked with me since my harness was from a van and I wanted to retain the 4L85E. He was fair priced and quick. I'm not one to endorse someone often but this harness work cost a chunk of change and I am pleased with his work.

Thanks luther for posting the pics. Ken does nice work. Looking forward to working with him but still early for me to send my harness in.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
 

I used Ken for my harness re-build. Perfect!
Test fit here.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
 

Looks great ,looking forward to more .

Re: 1961 Crew Max
 

Great progress! Thanks for sharing the hydra boost assembly picture. I'll be working on my truck this weekend. Is that the master cylinder from the Duramax truck donor? I'm think I might go with the CPP with built in restrictors.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
 

Master is from the astro van. Going to go with a smaller design. Either CPP or similar.

Re: 1961 Crew Max

Radiator shower up from PRC (performance rod and custom). I had them upsize the lower water neck to 2" and weld in -10AN fittings for trans. Spal s-blade fan. Also got new 14 bolt weld on trailing arm mounts from captain fab. Thanks CHIZZLER

Re: 1961 Crew Max
 

That looks sweet!

Re: 1961 Crew Max
 

Little update. Got the new intercooler and radiator fit. Overall went together well. Had to modify core support bracing around original radiator opening for the intercooler to sit back in it to fit behind grill. Had to cut very bottom lower bar of grill to clear. Nothing visible. Very hard to tell There is any thing behind the grill with a black intercooler. Also got the boost tube piping kit and the piping to rework the water inlet/outlet connections on the motor. Thanks CHIZZLER.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
 

Nice work!!!!!! these crew cabs are a lot of work, but i sure like'm

Re: 1961 Crew Max
 

Today we got some work done. Made both side's of the boost tubes. Got the new wilwood master cylinder and proportioning valve in place. Also got the steering column hooked to the rack and pinion. Had to cut the column down about 5" and installed a new bearing at the end. Also got the lower water hose built. We then started playing around with idea's for the front inner fenders and came up with a mock up for know. Thanks CHIZZLER.
