Well we are back to school today. Some parts showed up while we were off.
T-N-T Motorsports(ksbrktracer) sent us some FREE 2" front drop springs -- thank you very much

farmtrucks · 03-04-2015, 01:53 PM

Steele Rubber donated us a whole box of goodies - thank you so much

farmtrucks · 03-04-2015, 01:57 PM

I went by No Limit Engineering while we were off for snow and Rob give us one of his new transmission crossmembers. Thanks Rob.

**Dieselwrencher** · 03-04-2015, 06:35 PM

Nice parts and very cool on to the sponsors/shops helping out! Are you guys getting the ice/freezing rain down there now?

**Advanced Design** · 03-04-2015, 06:35 PM

Kudo's to the vendors!

It's suppose to hit tonight -- so we will probably be out tomorrow and Friday.

farmtrucks · 03-09-2015, 09:59 AM

Well we are back to school after all of our snow, ice and then all the flooding.
This morning we put on some Cpp drop spindles, 2" spring that came from TNT Motorsports. Also some drilled and slotted rotors that were donated by Nsane hot rods - thanks Dewayne. Nsane has a great selection of parts

farmtrucks · 03-10-2015, 09:31 AM

More nice pieces coming for the truck. EFI tank with pump installed that was donated by Boyd Tanks. What a super nice tank - thanks Dave.

**Advanced Design** · 03-10-2015, 10:47 AM

Nice parts! I will be remembering these vendors as I need parts. Will the truck be burning gas before the school year ends?

I'm hoping that we get it done by then

ol_skool_chevy · 03-10-2015, 12:04 PM

What size rear tires?????????

**RRR18** · 03-10-2015, 12:17 PM

Cool project.
Kids will remember forever.
Hard for me to think it has been since '98 in Tucson that we were playin around in auto class.

Just depends on what wheels we end up with. We're looking for a set of 20's like a boss 338 or something else that looks. Anybody have any connections of some wheels?

Got tank installed yesterday

Lesson for the day -- don't use 6 cyl mounts.
I always use v8 mounts - but I didn't have any, so I thought I would try the 6 cyl mount. No matter how you cut them it wouldn't work - it would help with a/c clearance but it throws everything else off. Now we gotta go find some v8 mounts.

Justin@EntropyRad · 03-20-2015, 09:41 AM

Like where it's heading!

farmtrucks · 03-20-2015, 09:47 PM

A buddy of mine brought by a set of mounts - but they were 6 cyl too. So we wasted most of the day chopping up the original mounts and making them work. I hope it will be worth the trouble - but we wont truly know until we try to fit the fan into the shroud.

The sbc mounts have the larger diameter hole @ the top correct?

farmtrucks · 03-21-2015, 07:46 AM

The v8 stands are about 2" shorter in height - that gets them closer to the the frame rails - which lets the motor set down further toward the crossmember. I've seen the large hole in both sets of mounts - I think hole size was small in early years, and went to the big hole around '70 - I think?

tyler_lay · 03-21-2015, 08:09 AM

iv got a set of V8 stands they have had some love with a hammer on driver side to fit header tube but i would be glad to send them your way if yours dont work out!!!!
