What he said. And the price for sandblasting & powder coating is great, wish I could find somebody that reasonable down here.

Re: Rebuild...(pending a name)

Appreciate it guys. Hey anyone running a 454 big block? Curious because I will be doing the plumbing really soon and would like some guys' "two cents" as to what size of tubing to run and either mechanical or electric fuel pump.

Re: Rebuild...(pending a name)

Here is what I got done on friday, not much was done this week. Had some long days at work.

Got the Steering Gearbox mounted.

Just a view from up top.

Name:  DSC01282.JPG

Size:  99.8 KB

Then did some trial and mock up fitting, and despite the little scare with the silver. It really turned out great. Also, doing two coats of the aerosol silver and 2-3 coats of clear. The difference is almost nonexistent between the two. The whole steering linkage got the aerosol silver and clear coat spray.

Re: Rebuild...(pending a name)

It's looking good. I cut off the mount on the rear end that you were asking about. It was about 10 years ago so I can't remember for positive how I did it but I believe I did it with a die grinder. It always bothered me too how it looks still there. I never ha any problem with it but I didn't drive truck just too much before tearing apart again haha

I was going to try it with a sawzall. Then resort back to the grinder. Thanks for the input though. And that's the reason why I want to get rid of it too. Just that obnoxious piece there when its not being used.

Haha Surprised no one has called me out on the frame accent colors. These colors I got from Stacey David's '67 C10 Project Copperhead.

Yeah well pretty much nothing is truly unique in this world, most inspiration comes from someone elses work, no matter how brilliant something seems if you look hard enough you will find out that it is just a variation or improvement on someone elses ideas or something that has already been done.
I wouldn't worry about it, if you like it that's all that matters.

Apprently mine is a 71-72 front end, or a mixture of things. I got the front end rebuild kit from ECE for a 67-70, and everything fits, just not the inner or outer tie rod ends, into the center link. After calling and talking to Mark at ECE, we both came to the conclusion that this would be the easiest route to go. I went with the 67-70 front rebuild kit because the truck is registered as a 70.

Re: Rebuild...(pending a name)

Well, I just happen to have the one I took out of my 1970 when I put the '76 frontend in mine. You can have it, just pm me your address & I'll send via USPS.

Re: Rebuild...(pending a name)

I have been looking around here and I'm afraid the one I have is a '71-'72 also... The one off my truck originally went with the '76 frontend donor. I have the one, but it came off a disc brake SWB frame that I bought which means it's the wrong one for you, but I can't be sure of which year it actually is. Do you know if there are any obvious marking differences that make it easy to identify? Where's Keith (Lolife) when we need him?

Re: Rebuild...(pending a name)

So with still awaiting some parts, I decided to tear into the cab.

With the seats removed.

Some things awaiting to be cleaned and reinstalled.

Got my rearend back and cleaned it up. Mounted it on for mocking up the brakes, brake lines, fuel tank, and fuel lines. Also while the truck is like this i am thinking of mocking up the exhaust from the mid crossmember back, to make it easy for me on the back end when i am finalizing everything.

Re: Rebuild...(pending a name)

Reading in your thread again and realized no one had addressed your question about fuel lines yet. Personally I like electric pumps. Summit sells a complete fuel system in -6AN for around 250 and it keeps up with my 630 HP 535 BBC even on the 1/4 mile track. I have a 950 carb and have never leaned it out that I know of. Would def go to a -8 if were to do again because I'm a bit leary about it but for a 454 I would think -6 on the Summit system would do just fine.

I appreciate the help. I was thinking of going 3/8 hard line and 5/16 hard line return line with an electric pump. My only concern is the sound of the electric pump. Any suggestions of pumps?
