Over 25 Years Later, Finally My 71 C-10 Truck Build - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

When I was removing the rear axle I needed to disconnect the line. The hard line twisted with the nut, so I had to cut it and replace.

This morning I made up some aluminum fuel lines from the pump to the regulator and carb. My first attempt at making hard lines for this, so hopefully it doesn't leak. I used brass compression fittings for a couple joints, flared the one end for the fuel pump, and will need to use a small piece of rubber tube connecting to the carb, at least for now. Pic later.

I got the mounts on and power steering pump on. I'm going to wait to install the engine until I get back from Mexico (work trip) next weekend.

First is a couple pics of my fuel lines. I just need to put a couple clamps on and it is all set.

Now my own invention or twist for an adjustable track bar. I finally got it all together. I'm going to post directions on the main board I think. I'm kinda proud of it.
