Re: C10CJ: A Pro-touring '71 Stepside on a No Limit Pro-C10 Chassis

Here's a mock up shot showing where I was planning to put the cooler. The front of the truck is kinda up and slightly to the right in the pic and you're looking down between the radiator support and grill, just to the left (driver side) of the radiator.

Time to get things mounted and assembled. Two days out from Goodguys CO and I tear the front of the truck apart. The pic isn't the best, but the PS cooler is mounted in it's spot (just to the left of the driver side headlight in this pic). Blends right into the radiator support.

That white Earl's box in the part shot in the previous post was the 3/8" steel coated hardline. Comes in a 25' coil. I then have a home built "straightener" to get the lines mostly straight. I then custom bent the lines to fit between the bottom of the radiator support and the frame and then tie in to the bulkhead that I mounted on the frame in the proximity of the power steering pump.

Here's the resultant lines. I have the 37 deg flare setup for my awesome flare tool so I go straight from the hard lines to -6 AN. You can see the tube nuts in the pic.
