I run a Sanden 4474 compressor as it is about the only one with outlets that wouldn't interfere with the stock oil filter. http://store.sanden.com/media/catalo...5/4/4/4474.jpg |

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
72redneck, thanks for the sanden part number. I might have to switch over to this style on this truck. I'll have to see wgen I get to that point.

Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
How's it going over here Ryan ?

Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
Not much to report on it. I switched to working on finishing some stuff on the inside of my south bay, and never got back on it. Things have changed again, and I'm not sure when I'll get back on this one.

Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
I guess I can go ahead and report on some parts and progress I did make a couple months ago on it before I stopped working on it again. I had a hard time trying to figure out how I was going to add extra gauges without them looking dumb or being too hard to see. So I purchased a dakota Digital VHX cluster. I also got enough modules and sensors to do 2 boost gauges, a pyro, trans temp, and an extra temp box that may go in the rear diff. Then I got polished finned aluminum diff covers, a viair 480c compressor, and a rather stupid large trans cooler. I also started restoring a grill shell for it. I started by removing the clear anodizing, then straightening out any dents, and sanding the shell. It still isn't finished. I also modified a grill emblem because I wanted something different.

Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
I wouldn't mind seeing the trans cooler and the other gauge stuff. On my Scout (TF727) I ran the trans fluid through the stock condenser. Worked awesome. I am working on a swap involving an A518 and the 3 factory coolers seem like they can be simplified, but will it be effective.

Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
transcooler never can be too large
where you going to put it ? vertical behind the cab in the bed with an electric fan might be a good spot for it , out of the way of dirt the radiator for the motor and intercooler small box around it should protect it from stuff rolling around inside the bed if theres enough room you could mount the fan through the bed from the inside and the rad between the cab and bed might make routing the hoses eazier |

Here's the trans cooler. It's basically 2 giant cores looped together.

Dakota digital, eh? I like that idea... Haha. I dig that front emblem too. I generally don't like CF but the tasteful yet small touches like that are cool. It goes well with the Halloween paint! Now quit slacking and build a truck!

Here are some more pics of the parts collection I've been building up for it. I was trying to get all the little and big stuff knocked off so I can finish it and drive it and maybe be done? Is that possible? :lol:

I don't know how the glovebox door would be if you did the whole insert, but it would go well with the gauge cluster. I LOVE Carbon Fiber and have been trying to figure out which VHX gauges I want to get. I like the CF, but I am not so thrilled about the blue and red backlighting they offer. I really like how the white backlighting is though, but they don't have any pictures on their website with the CF in white backlight And holy crap you spent a t with all those modules with the gauges. I have been thinking about the GPS speedo with compass and temp, but I don't know if it is worth the extra 3 bills. I may just have to wait until I do the diesel and wire in other modules then. And P.S. I have CF valve covers and the air cleaner top on the BBC in the 69 C10, you can't have too much CF, lol |
Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
I only have this other pic of the emblem right now.
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...223_192601.jpg I really considered the GPS speedo, but I think I will go with the integrated cruise before I do that. And yeah, the cost will gag a horse doing these gauges. I just hope I'm happy with it when it's done. :lol: |
