Re: Project Screamer - '72 GMC K2500 + DD 4-53T

Spring has sprung in the Colorado Rockies. I have been busy; but, not so much on my truck project...

I installed the parking brake cable. It fits properly and clears everything else. WooHoo! I would like to say that it was good planning; but, it was mostly luck.

I fabricated a new bracket for the air filter/regulator. In the stock location, it interfered with the bottom of the cab. I installed it on the new bracket and tubed it up.

I purchased an "Ultra Light Duty" air compressor and a small tank. [Who would call their product "Ultra Light Duty"? Where was the marketing guy when that name was picked?] At any rate, it was just the right size for my application. I installed the compressor on the skid plate and the tank on the chassis. I plumbed it up and tested it. The compressor will go from 0 to 105 psi in about 2 minutes. I get about 5 range shifts before the compressor starts again. It seems appropriate to me.

Mounting the fuel filter and switching valve is next.
