Re: 1970 C30 Car hauler Buildish thread.

Sometimes I wonder if there is something wrong with me. So I was having problems with clearance with the radiator fan motor being to close to the oil fill neck on the cummins. I don't know how I did not think of this sooner. I lossend the brackets I made and slid the fan over a little bit. I only had to make one new bracket and do a little trimming to clear the upper water neck. Now I have just enough room between the fan motor and oil fill neck. Then I scooted the cab back as far as I could I have about 3/16 of clearance between the wastegate and the heater box now.

I also installed the hood today.

I have about an inch between the hood and cap in the brake fluid reservoir.

I just realised I never took a pic of the cab dollies I made I used 4 scissor jacks and two furniture dollies and some wood bracing. I used them to remove and install the cab on the frame. I use them to adjust the cab on the frame.
