Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step

Any updates? Nothing for a month, and at the pace you build these it might be done already

So a giant hail storm hit the central Texas area (where I live). This caused the body shop that I work out of to get slammed. So my project got shoved in the corner (I can't get in the way of good paying insurance companies) and I also got out of the way until the work settled down. I am hoping to get going again soon. The shop is almost caught up so I will be able to sneak back in and work on my truck. I have been tinkering with the red truck since then working some small items out and getting old things buttoned up. Hopefully by September/October this truck will be running like a champ.

So I broke my hand on the 4th thanks to someone's face getting in the way of it, so progress has slowed yet again but here are a bunch of pictures I have been hoarding.

I have hand that was broken the same way more than once. But now that I'm getting older it can predict cold weather. ...Mine was usually an ARI (alcohol related incident) though.....lol

Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step

The cab made its way to the frame for some test fitting. Everything fit well I could have probably moved the motor back 1-2" and still have plenty of room for the motor/tranny. I won't move it unless I determine an issue later. I will still have plenty of room for my radiator and electric fans, so other than weight distribution I see no issues.

Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step

The last picture makes the motor look really far forward, but it is not. I just took that one to show the clearance for the high hump and transmission. Here are a few more of the cab. I made good use of the clutch pedal hole and ran the main harness through it to allow me to mount the pcm inside the cab and keep the engine bay clean (ish).

Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step

Does anyone know what these wire go to? I believe they are for the a/c (harness is from a 7'72 a/c cab. The wires are light blue and yellow along with a dark blue and yellow. The are in the area where it would make sense that they belong to the a/c I am just not positive.

Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step

So I am finally making some headway. I got my fuel cell installed and the stock fuel pump cut down. Due to the height of the fuel cell, the stock fuel pump bottomed out just a bit higher than I wanted. Cutting down the fuel pump was fairly simple. I knew that I needed to take off at least an inch but I also knew that I couldn't take off too much because the pump is designed to ride on the bottom of the tank. I cut off about an inch and a half from the metal arms that ride on the inside of the springs which worked perfect for my setup. To accomplish this I made sure there was no fuel anywhere in the pump (it has been removed from the fuel tank for some time). I then used a cut off wheel to cut just above the base of the pump (gray area). I smoothed out the short pieces (the short pieces in the base) so that they would slid out easily though the base. I then cut the springs down and made sure my remaining metal arms were the correct length. I then used the cutoff wheel to slice the arm. I did this because it is similar to the factory end. I then slid the springs back on the arms and then the base back on to the bottom of the arms. Once this was completed I used a pair of needle nose pliers to bend out one of the arms in the manner it was done from GM. This bend is to keep the base attached to the top. Now I have a pump that fits. The last picture is stock height compared to my modified height.

Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step

Now I have a stock (ish) fuel pump in my fuel cell. This is in attempt to keep the custom parts to a minimum. I am attempting to keep as much of the truck either 1970 or 2009 oem type parts so it is easy to work on and easy to maintain. We will see how this goes.

Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step

I am planning on putting my fuel filler in the side marker of the truck so I had John (DB Rods and Minis from Taylor, TX) weld in the filler neck on the drivers side at a 90* angle. I shouldn't have any slow fill issues since the 90* is very short and the fill neck will be a bit higher than this point.
