Re: Daverods 52
If you can find a bigger truck that has a good grill maybe you could buy it, the bars themselves interchange. The upright grill support bars don't (taller on the big trucks) but the grill bars are the same between all sizes of trucks. I know this because I have a 2 ton grill bars on my 50.

Re: Daverods 52
Trying to get everything air tight. Broke a airhose, a fitting, pinched a front airhose. Ordered new hoses and a fitting. One of the new hoses is blocked.

Re: Daverods 52
good call on the pipe dope. good call on the extra hoses. I love having extras of things. I try and have double alot of tools even. But I have two living locations so it is nice to have that. Can't wait to see some test runs man.

Re: Daverods 52
The rod is looking good. Looks like someone already called shotgun for the first ride.
What are you going with for rim/tire setup?

Re: Daverods 52
daverod,
here is a pic when I was going to run the ranco valve and OG heater. My valve leaked and so did my heater box, so I just got an aftermarket 3 speed heater. I can send you a pic of it if you like, but it was like 200 bucks for the kit. Anyway, here is the valve, I believe the hose closest to the firewall on the valve comes from your intake aka hot, then it flows through the valve and out the hose (second port on valve) to the heater, then from heater (should be colder by then, back to the water pump. I looked off of my 54' truck and that is how it was run I believe, so I ran mine the same way, but never checked it cause both the valve and heater box leaked.

Re: Daverods 52

Re: Daverods 52
Yeah I like reading threads like this one since im debating on using the s10 frame i have or if i should just spend the time boxing and clipping the stock one. Both are in excellent shape, its just seems cheaper and smarter to use 50 year newer technology.

Re: Daverods 52
I just decided to roll with the s10 chassis. That way i can go to the local pars store and buy what i need, and cheaper. Plus im an s10 guy anyway. Know them like the back of my hand. Makes the most sense for me. Daverods is exactly what im doing minus the plates and interior. I love logging in and seeing a new post haha. Saved almost all the pics to reference back to.

Re: Daverods 52
Ok, I am confused, what is an oil primer? I thought you just used a 1/4" drill until it started smoking!

Re: Daverods 52
It takes the place of the distributor to drive the oil pump with a drill. That pushes oil through out the engine before you start a fresh rebuild. Of course it has to have oil in it.
