Re: 46 pickemup in NJ "the Rebuild"

Couple other things the Paintman has been futzin around with is the supply lines for the heated manifold. After much banter over on inliners.org I decided to do it like this.............
water supply from block

Water return to Tstat housing

Started doing some of the ground wires. I have one ground (2 guage) running from each side of the motor to spuds i welded to the motor perches. And another one from the tranny (0 gauge) to the frame.

Kind of hard to see it here but it bolts to the block just to the left of the Alt bracket runs under to the motor perch.

And then one big honking ground wire from the tranny to another spud welded to the frame.

Next on the list is hitting the inside of the cab with some insulation. I decided to go with FatMat. Nice thing about being a painter is you also have all the tools for hanging paper. It's great working on my papering table with a nice long straight edge for cutting. Finally something I can do on this truck that I actually know what I am doing! Yea me!
