Talking Re: 1966 C10 Father Son Build

Progress is being made. I got the york compressor installed, a Taurus electric fan, Volvo fan controller and twin temperature sender from BMW. All junk yard parts. The Taurus fan works great, this is the second vehicle I have put it on. The Volvo controller and BMW twin switch really make the install a lot easier the piecing together fuses and relays. Plus the parts are readily available in the salvage yards.

Taurus fan: $20
Volvo Relay/controller: Free
BMW temp switch: free

There are a lot of write ups out there, I followed this one: http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/showthread.php?t=200028

I was going to hold off on the fan, but I had to do it to fit the York compressor in. The compressor fills up my 5 gallon tank from empty to 150 psi in about 20 seconds at idle. I added a pressure controller so the York kicks on at 110 and kicks off at 150. I also put an override switch in the cab to turn it off if I want.

I am in a rush to get it together to go to the Woodward cruise. I am going to redo the relay panel and clean up the wiring post cruise. I also want to trim up the clean up the york mounting bracket a bit. ( I am actually a little surprised it all worked the first time it went together.) Now that it works, I can clean up the install and make it look as good as it performs.
