Re: Ole Rusty
got a Hobart. works great. I was doing the longhorn but there is too much $$ to get that bed to where I want it to be, I did a quick shopping list for just the patch panels and floor parts and was into a grand already and since I was putting the whole thing on a 8ft bed frame anyways ill do the reg lwb.

Re: Ole Rusty
all I know about it is the then owners put it in the shop to get a random miss fixed. they put a pump on it thinking that was it and it hasn't ran since. I can get it to run with a puff of go juice into the turbo but it quickly dies. they had told me they thought the new pump was out of time so I pulled the front cover and everything is in time according to the FSM. I would get a used pump and drop in there but Im in too deep on rusty.lol

Re: Ole Rusty
my adhd kicked in really heavy and I couldn't concentrate so I just set the bed on the frame to measure for mounts.
![]() looks pretty good. I got it centered up side to side and there will be clearance for wheel travel. ![]() rear mount will have to be 1 1\2 in off the frame ![]() front will be 3in rise. ![]() and we still cleared the fuel tank and rollover valve they decided would stick up a few inches above the frame. maybe tomorrow I will get the wheel house rust repaired. a buddy works at the tech school and they have a press that can punch the square holes in the new metal for the carriage head bolts. |

Re: Ole Rusty
NEW MEAT!
![]() while i had the gear box off i decided to see if i will be able to combine the chevy column with dodge gear box. i lucked out,splines match up on both ends! ill use the chevy D-joint since it is tight as a drum(dodge had a little play in it) and the dodge rag joint. ![]() ![]() ![]() dam it seems like im not making any headway but im not getting burned out yet. on the good news side i have a guy who wants to trade me a 5 speed getrag with all the trimmings(bellhousing,flywheel,etc) for the dodge cab! cant wait. does anyone know of a thread where someone made their own clutch pedal setup along with hydraulic lines and such? i need some ideas. ive found a russell performance braided line kit with the connections that will fit dodge clutch master and slave, all i need now is to figure out how to make the pedal setup and a bracket for the cmc. |
